Contacts
Enable contacts synchronization if needed. Please note that for compatibility with Lotus Notes 6.5 AweSync synchronizes contacts only with local Lotus Notes address book. If you want to synchronize your iNotes contacts, please setup synchronization of your iNotes contacts with a local address book.
Synchronization mode
- One-way mode transfers data only in one direction (for example from Lotus Notes to Google).
Also you can specify the conflict handling policies similar to calendars synchronization. Select Synchronize removed contacts option if you want contacts removed from one destination to be removed from other destination, too.Restore Removed Contacts will restore the entries if they were deleted for some reason in the destination. - Two-way mode transfers contacts in both directions. The conflict handling here is similar to calendars sync and has the same 3 options:
Latest wins: when the AweSync finds that previously synchronized contact that is changed in Lotus Notes or Google, it will update the older version with the newer data.Lotus Notes overwrites Google: in case of conflicts always overwrite Google contact with Lotus Notes ones.Google overwrites Lotus Notes: in case of conflicts always overwrite Lotus Notes contacts with Google ones.
You can skip synchronizing contacts with empty names. Google adds all your senders and recipients to your contacts automatically, so this options helps to exclude these from synchronization, until you explicitly edit and specify at least their name (as well as other details).
Processing of contacts on the first run option is available only if you didn’t run contacts synchronization yet. You can merge them all together, and then manually clean them up if duplicates appear. Or you can remove all contacts on one end (ex. in Google), and then pull all contacts from the other (ex. from Lotus to Google).
Contacts – IBM Notes

Also, option “Move IBM Notes contacts to My Contacts Google Group” allows you to see synced contacts in default “Contacts” view in Google interface.
