Regarding Lotus, if I understand correctely, the possibility to distribute 
your source code on the KMail home page and force the user to fetch the API 
himself from Lotus is always there. The rest can wait, until you have 
something to demonstrate.
Regarding the GPL, I'm not completely sure. You must of course give your code 
a licence, that allows linking with the Notes API. Linking with kdelibs is no 
problem since it is LGPL. But what is with Qt? Actually the Notes API doesn't 
link with Qt, but your code links with Qt and the Notes API. Is that a 
problem then or not?

CVS KMail needs also Qt-3.0-beta6 and kdelibs from CVS. If you want to have 
POP3,SMTP,IMAP support, then you also need kdebase.
You can install that into a different directory with "./configure 
--prefix=<some-dir>" to keep your stable desktop still working.
