Luckily, every part of this thread is. Sorry to answer my own question, but I managed to do this by using sed. I used: for ff in $FOLDERSPre f=$(echo "$ff" | sed -e 's/mail/Maildir/') which is easier than what i was trying to do: remove the /home/username/mail out and replace with /home/username/Maildir.
