I verified that Windows Explorer will parse the %username% variable, so windows scripting engines will probably do the same. The format I used is the same as you gave in the question, (\\myserver\%username%\my_mail.nsf) so there may be another issue, such as permissions to view a file on the Notes server.
Notes has a robust security model, and probably disallows direct access to the server objects, even if the requestor is asking for their own my_mail.nsf file.


*****ADDITION INFO*****

If using Lotus Script, you can use the ENVIRON function. For example, Environ("Temp") gives the temp directory per the Windows OS.
