VB with Lotus Notes Mail

We currently have VB.-app sending emails to respective clients using an OLE constructed with help of MAPI ( I believe ) communicating with MS-Exchange Mail.
In near future we are planning to Move to Lotus-Notes Mail, I was looking for 1-1 converting tool or API which I  can use to program with VB.
i.e. use to create an OLE so that I could send an email/Fax via Lotus Notes from VB. App.

Appreciate your answer, did clear some of my doubts regarding api. I have a question though, The Lotus Notes API would it come with MS-Windows/ Notes Mail/Where???
I would like To know the exact name of the api, if possible.
Thanking u in anticipation.
This API will come with notes.  It is called the Lotus Notes Automation Classes.  The file is called notes32.tlb

This method will limited the mail client usabilitied.
If the VB application only need email send/received capilities, using MAPI client provided by Lotus Notes is a choice.
If so, you can using MAPI control in VB. I am using this method in my project.
