Judging by the prompt, you're using a Cygwin shell. Most Unix shells use the backslash as the escape character, so you're really creating a directory "D:Mail" (which may not really be in the root of the D: drive). > I don't understand why I could create de directory but not mount over > it. WFM. Please read and follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, especially the part about attaching (as an uncompressed text *attachment*) the output of "cygcheck -svr" on your system. > Moreover which is the preferred way to get managed mounts on boot? Mounts in Cygwin are different from Unix mounts in that they are persistent -- you only need to give the 'mount' command once.
