This issue may occur if a Lotus Notes mailbox contains a corrupted message. The Lotus Notes Nxrtf.dll and Nnotes.dll binary files cause the Mailbox Migration Wizard (Mailmig.exe) to stop responding when the wizard tries to migrate a corrupted mailbox item.

Resolution for this problem

In order to resolve this issue, remove the message that caused the access violation from the Lotus Notes mailbox, and then rerun the Mailbox Migration Wizard. For that you need to follow the given below steps:

Start Windows Explorer, and then locate the temporary folder used by the Migration Wizard. Each time the Migration Wizard runs, a new folder is created in this temporary storage folder.

Open the newest folder that was created by the Mailbox Migration Wizard. In this folder, the PRI and SEC file names have numbers, and each number corresponds to a particular mailbox.

Locate the last numbered file, and then open the corresponding PRI file by using a text editor, such as Notepad. This file contains the name of the mailbox. All messages that have already been migrated are listed in this file, folder-by-folder. The last message in this file indicates the last message that the Migration Wizard processed successfully. From this information, you can determine that the next message in this mailbox caused the access violation in the Mailbox Migration Wizard.

Remove the message that follows this last message in the PRI file from the Lotus Notes mailbox.

Restart the Mailbox Migration Wizard, and then migrate the remaining messages into Exchange 2000 Server.

Its always advisable to use technologically advanced migration tool to avoid any kind of data loss during migration. Notes to Exchange migration software is best in its functionality and provides you with immediate results.
