Hi and welcome.
I don't know Lotus Notes, but i can at least comment on some of your 
code, pointing out at least some problems.

You're using backslashes in literal strings when there's nothing escaped 
there.  So you need to either double them or use a raw string.  It's 
also possible that you could use forward slashes, but I can't be sure.

I'd simply use
notesServer = R'Mail\wed\new\IT'

You forgot the parentheses.  So you're not calling the Open function, 
you're just printing it.

There may be other things, but if you fix the three lines, it'll 
probably get further.
