Do you have Lotus Notes?  Also have an iPod?   Do you want to put your Lotus Notes Contacts on your iPod?   Well, its easy!

Step 1.   Attach your iPod to your computer.  This should mount your iPod as a removable storage device, and you will see it has a folder called Contacts.

Step 2.  Open your Lotus Notes Address Book to the Contacts view, and select the documents you want to export, or simply select all with CTRL+A.

Step 3. From the menus, choose File - Export.   For "Save in" navigate to your iPod's "Contacts" folder.   Provide a file name, I usually choose "Lotus Notes Contacts", and make sure to choose vCard for the "Save as type".   Click Export.

You will be prompted with a few additional vCard export options, I tend to leave them as is, and just click OK.

You'll see a progress bar as Notes exports the file, and you're done!

Disconnect your iPod, navigate to the iPod's Contacts application, and you'll see all your Lotus Notes contacts!

Happy iPodding...
