As an aside, in addition to the responses you've had to your query, you
have a redundant use of else in your script. It would work just as well
written as

        #!/bin/bash

        year=`date +%Y`

        if [ ! -d ~/Mail/OUTBOX/$year ]; then
           mkdir ~/Mail/OUTBOX/$year
        fi

        echo "set record==OUTBOX/$year/outbox-`date +%m-%y`"

Cheers,
Tom
