Lotus Notes email portlet showing an empty inbox

Question

With the Lotus Notes email portlet, has anyone seen it render an empty inbox view, although the paging function indicates there are 500 or more messages available? The error occurs intermittently. We can work around it by temporarily switching to the All Documents folder, then switch back to the Inbox folder.
We are on Lotus Notes Groupware 3.2 SP1, running on solaris. Our portal platform is G6, also on solaris.

Hi Arun,
The solution is not fully testes yet but what I had to do:
1 - Create a portal service that receive a string as parameter and create a new content with this string (in NWDS is a Portal Application Project).
2 - Create a Web Service for this portal service (in the same portal application project).
3 - Create a new Stand alone Web Service proxy project in NWDS to generate proxy classes for this web service.
4 - Create a new notes agent in Lotus notes that consumes this web service, for this I followed an example that is placed in IBM Developers Network site (http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/ls-AWS_integration/). The agent should run every time a new email arrives or in certain periods, this you can configure when creating the agent.
Unfortunatelly I did not find a way to get the e-mail in HTML format, the Notes API does not have any method that return the e-mail content as HTML. The only method I found return the e-mail content as plain text.
