Ok, I think I got enough interest to warrant a post.
In order for this solution to work, you HAVE to know the server name of your Lotus Domino and the your name exactly as it is in your Domino address book.
1. Visit this forum and search for rapidshare. The second hit will lead you to DAMO 7.0.2 exe file. Download this. Note: This version of DAMO partially works with Outlook 2007 but it has the "meeting and replication" related problems. Do not install it yet.
2. Google for "C1K37EN.exe". You should find a link that will allow you to download this file. This is DAMO 8.0.2.
Both these files are uploaded and hosted by somebody else. I just found them after a little (re)search.
Now you have two versions of DAMO downloaded.
Here is the trick that lot of people don't know.
3. Install DAMO 7.0.2 first. It is pretty intuitive. Do not open Outlook yet.
4. Install DAMO 8.0.2 next. This should ask for an upgrade of the existing DAMO. If it does, you are on the right track.
You don't have to change any environment variable or adjust your registry. DAMO 8.0.2 handles this for you.
5. Now open outlook 2007. When you open for the first time, outlook should automatically replicate with your Domino and all your mails and calendar entries gets downloaded.
Thats it you are done! Now you can not only send and recieve mails, you can accept meeting requests. Read and deleted emails are appropriately reflected in your DOMINO server. You may want to open Lotus notes once in a while to make sure that this is happening.
This solution worked for me. I use a Windows XP laptop with Domino 7.x version and outlook 2007 SP1. THIS MAY NOT WORK IF YOU HAVE Outlook 2007 SP2.
If this solution does not work and you want to try the install again. You have to uninstall DAMO and then re-install 7.0.2 and 8.0.2 in that order. It won't work otherwise.
Hope this helps! Do comment and let me know if this worked!

Thank you for this post!!
I have followed your instructions and I get most of the way through. However, I keep getting an error toward the end:
"Setup encountered an error and failed to create a MAPI profile. You will need to reinstall IBM Lotus Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook."
I get the same message for both files when installing.
Also, when I'm installing the 8.0.2 file, it asks for a data file location. Is this the existing Notes data file or am I creating a new one?
Any help you can offer is appreciated.
Thanks!
Jason
I have seen this error before.. Make sure that your lotus notes is closed..
Also, the data file it is asking is your user.id file in C:\lotus\notes\data folder..
BTW, you don't have to reinstall DAMO to make this work..
Follow the steps I have outlined earlier exactly and you should be ok..
Hope this helps.. Let me know if you have any questions.
THANK YOU!!!!!!
The ONLY working way for me so far, finally I can get rid of this crappy Notes sh**
Thanx!!!!
Torrent,
Glad that it works for you...
There were so many people intrested in knowing how to hook up outlook 2007 with Lotus Domino. Either it is not working for others or they have not posted a feedback. Common people, show me some love, let me know if it worked for you..
- Saketh.
OK, so I keep getting the MAPI error. Proir to getting that error, I get one that says "Your Address Book does not contain any cross certificates capable of authenticating the server."
I have closed Notes completely.
Any ideas?
Finally got it working. Didn't need the 7.0.2 version at all. Just installed 8.0.2 straight up and it worked. Also, I don't think I was giving the proper username before.
Jason,
Glad it worked for you.. I have helped about 5 of my co-workers with this installation, and for all 5 of them, I had to install 7.0.2 first. That may be because we did not have 7.0.2 installed in our machines earlier.
I am sure readers who have trouble with my approach can try yours..
Freedom from Lotus Notes is awesome!
- Saketh.
I couldn't agree more!
Thanks for your post. I have also helped a few co-workers since getting this to work.
Thanks so much! This worked great for me!! I have been trying to get this setup and failed. Maybe the 7.0.2 to 8.0.2 update fixed me up this time.
If anyone needs a copy of DAMO, it can be found here... ftp://ftp.emea.ibm.com/fromibm/lotus/Signed_DAMO_IF5_setup.exe Enjoy!!
Joseph: THANK YOU!! That file you just linked solved the "could not create MAPI profile" error for me, which was persisting through several attempts at install/reinstall.
Working procedure for me was install 7.5, install 8.5, and then install the file Joseph linked above. I have no idea if these steps were necessary but it worked so i'm not messing with it.
Goodbye notes!
I got this to work fairly easily. But if I create an apppointment in my lotus shouldn't that transfer to my outlook?
I am hoping to hear form you to try to fugure this out more. I am trying ot have my secretary input apointments in my lotus calendar and have access to these appointments in my outlook. Right now when I put something in my calendar (either lotus or outlook) it does not move across. Does this mean the appointments my secretary puts into my lotus won't make it across?
Mike,
Please see the first post in this blog. There is an entire section on how to get the calendar sync'd. Hope that helps. Let me know if you were able to do it.
I followed all the instructions as stated in the post from 10 June 2009. ( I do have both the files stored away and can e-mail them to anyone who needs them.) However I am not able to get it to sync the way I need it.
My secretary has access to my lotus notes. So see sees what I put in my calendar. When I put appointments in my outlook calendar it does not make it into my lotus calendar so my secretary can see it. Additionally it does not work when my secretary puts an appointment in my lotus calendar.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Mike,
Could you send me the files, I would like to try this DAMO.. Would make life much easier (irt Notes)...;-)
Thanks..
Almost forgot: H.Hamelink@gmail.com
Hubert
Mike, can you send me the files as well?
dualmeida@gmail.com
Hi Mike can you send me the files as well, since I applied DAMO 7 then DAMO 8 and still getting an error can create MAPI du to adreess book.
yousseffawaz75@gmail.com
Thanks
Hi Mike, can you send me the files as well?
octavio.ortiz@gmail.com
Thanks!
I'd like a copy of the files also please.
alex.localx@gmail.com
thanks!
Seems like a lot of work. Why not just click on the exe to upgrade to Notes 8.5?
I already upload the two files in Megaupload, the DAMO 7.0.2 and DAMO 8.0.2. The link is:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JYWJBW8F.
Have fun with Outlook 2007.
Thanks for the info Saketh.
Couldn't access the link in Megaupload! Can you send to my mail joe.cavalulu@gmail.com?
Hi Erwin. Megaupload is restricted the connection from Hong Kong. Could you move the DAMO to other download server?
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! This worked great. I am using Outlook 2007 SP2 and Lotus Notes 8.5, and no problems.
Thanks again!
Guys - I am getting the "...failed to create MAPI profile" error. Anyone have a link to the DAMO_IF5_setup.exe file? Seems like that fix is needed to resolve this error.
Any help is appreciated!
I have IF5 and it make no difference!
Hi,
I am getting error to connect to my domino server. It kept prompting error that could not connect to my domino server even though my domino server is active. Please advise.
Techno Nath, I don't know what you mean by IF5.
Kenny Go, I had this issue, please make sure that your Domino server URL is correct. I know you don't like this answer, but that is where ther problem was for many of my co-workers.
My installation went troublefree but I always get this message when I want to open Outlook...."This database is currently in use by another person or process and cannot be accessed at this time. In order to share a Notes database, it must be accessed thrugh a Domino Server by all users of the database". As such I am not able to open Outlook in this profile at all. Another profile of the same Outlook that is not connected to DAMO works fine.
Did I do something wrong in the installation OR do I have to remove Lotus notes 8.xxx that is also installed in the same drive ?
...and just in case it helps...I have a Windows7 + Outlook 2007 + Lotus 8.0.2 combo in my machine
Shaibal,
The reason you are getting the error is not because of LN. It is because, you may be syncing Lotus Notes to a outlook pst file that the other profile is using. In order for this to work, DAMO needs exclusive lock to your pst file. Let me know if that works..
Could you please send DAMO 8.0.2 to rotproof@gmail.com?
Yesterday in net I saw one tool-converter ost pst.Which recovered all my mails and contacts too.Program solved my issues very quickly and free of cost.After work with this application I knew about one function effectively convert your mailbox from *.ost to *.pst format.
