Yes, I have been able to use fetchmail to transfer Notes/Domino email to
a Courier-IMAP server. It works for "regular" email, but there are some
difficulties. For example, forget about Lotus-encrypted secure mail, it
can't be unencrypted. Also, of course email regarding collaborations like
meetings won't work as expected. In addition, on a busy Domino server the
IMAP fetchmail was very slow (literally minutes) for a mailbox with more
than 800 items in the various folders, even though it only was actually
retrieving a few emails each time. This all assumes that the Domino
account was set up for IMAP in the first place.

I have not thought much about what would happen to the Lotus Notes email
archives, since these do not usually reside on the server. You may well
need the Notes client to access the emails saved in these archives, since
I think the format is proprietary. Perhaps you can restore from the
archive file to the server, but I have had no need for that.

I should say that I have only done this for individual accounts, not for a
mass conversion. So proceed at your own risk.
