I am trying to get a managed mount in order to store a

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.
