I went to the Thunderbird directory 'Mail' and entered 'dir' which showed 'Local Folders' as a sub directory. I then entered cd Local Folders and was presented with the message "The system cannot find the path specified". Now if it can list the directory why can't it find the path? I was wanting to copy the Inbox folder but can't do it using the command screen. I then used ZTree_Bold successfully to copy Inbox, so the command line should work but doesn't.

Thanks Ken, that fixed the problem. Strange that I didn't need quotes in eCS 2.0 rc4 installed in my previous PC when performing the identical operation. Is it because of the separated words Local Folders that quotes are required?
