Thanks Jamess.
Finally got it working. I see, the problem is because linking the Local Folder 
path to the mails in Windows partition is alright but the problem lies with the 
permission and owner of the files. So I moved all the mails in the Mozilla 
Windows to 'nsmail' directory in Linux and then changed all the permission and 
owner of the files to myself and linking the Local Folder path in Mozilla Linux 
to 'nsmail' directory and it is done!

Thanks again for any help provided. Hopefully anybody else having the same 
problem could find this beneficial solving the problem.
