Thanks for your reply and the hint to Thunderbird !

In the meantime I have found my mistake and after correction everthing
goes smooth as ever ;-)

I am an avid fan/user of Lotus Notes (LN) since more than 10 years and 
would love to get my current LN environment to this new Ubuntu one !

My fear, as a Ubuntu greenhorn, is that I am unable to manage and/or
maintain 
LN under whatever Linux ...
... and I also fear that LN may not work as expected anymore !?

Why LN ?
LN, for me, is my primary GUI ...
... my PIM and Thinktank !!!

It will be a very happy day for me to get LN working properly 
in my environment under Ubuntu ;-)

As for Thunderbird:
I am not a big fan of splitting browser and mailer !
Seamonkey is more my way !!

Under WIN XP Pro I am using TB as a temporary mail checker and 
FF as browser when really needed ;-)

Cheers, svobi
