I have done some automation at my workplace with domino and lotus
notes, which works tremendously well. It has helped us save a lot of
time. When i was working on the project, I tried reading a pdf named
"LotusScript for Visual Basic Programmers" at ibm.com. You can find
the a link at: http://socko.wordpress.com/tutorials/

For an example with lotus mail, please have a look at this:

I hope this helps.
