Hello,

I think I have (hopefully) solved the problem. In my linux, I pointed
out to the mail database as well as mail id file which are located in my
windows D: drive. The windows D: drive has been partititoned with vfat
so that both the windows as well as linux systems can write to it. I
deleted the local mail database as well as the local mail id file from
/home/nsridhar/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/lotus/notes/data. I also
opened the mail dataase in our office server and had both the icons in
my workspace. I had to add for replication of the databases by right
clicking on the database and replicate. It asked for replication via
background replicator and then I had to once again check th replication
settings.

I thank you all for the support provided.

Regards

N. Sridhar
