try this:

Code:
if [[ -d Foldername ]]; then
mailx -s "the folder is present" emailid@somedomain.com

if [[ -f $your_file ]]; then
mailx -s "$your_file exists..." your_email_address
fi

-d will let you check if a directory exists.

if [[ -f $your_file ]]; then
cat $your_file|mailx -s "$your_file contents..." your_email_address
fi


OR if you want to receive the file as an attachment:

if [[ -f $your_file ]]; then
uuencode $your_file $your_file|mailx -s "$your_file exists..." your_email_address
fi

-d will let you check if a directory exists.
