Your request doesn't make any sense. cd means change directory, and an mbox is not a directory... it's a flat file that contains mail. [mbox is a specific style of mail folder, stored in a flat file.] Maildir is a different mail folder format which uses directories, but even here, your request doesn't really make sense. You can cd into the directory where a maildir folder lives... Is that what you mean? If it isn't, then your request still doesn't make any sense. A mail folder is a logical structure which is conceptually distinct from a directory in the operating system, even if the mail folder format uses directories to implement the format. It doesn't really make sense to cd into a mail folder. Maybe it would be helpful if you could explain what you are trying to accomplish, using different terms... -- Derek D.
