Database (.nsf) has grown too large; use File New Replica to recreate your file with larger capacity
Synopsis
Recently I installed Lotus Notes 6.5 Client on to one P-3 Machine after which when I attempted to open the local .nsf file the above error was encountered and the data base did not open; the problem was repeated even when once again the Notes Client 5.0 was re installed on the same system the file is R4 version & size is 1 Gb. Please guide me how to open the database. the user is in very bad shape since this database is containing archieved mails of last 3 years.
Suggested Causes and Solutions:
Solutions
Cause: This error comes when someone send a large email to you.
Solution: I tried to compact the database and it worked fine. You can compact the database by right click on it, click on database, goto properties. Click on second tab and click on compact.
Sometimes compact start late, so have patience.

Lotus domino connectors are available for this with nsf to pst migration tools from third party vendors like
