Folder Not Raising 404 Error In htaccess

Simply, I am trying to make it so if a user goes to a folder, it will give a 404 Error. Problem is, it does not seem to work!

Here is my file setup:

- postin
    - mail
         - yourmail.php
    - profiles
        - viewprofile.php
    - .htaccess
    - error.php

Then simply I am adding this to my .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^mail/ - [L,R=404]
ErrorDocument 404 error.php

I thought by adding this code that if a user typed in the URL .../postin/mail/ that it would take the user to the 404 error.php page. That does not seem the be the case though, it will just bring up the directory page for .../postin/mail/. So my question is, how do I raise the 404 error when a user goes to a folder (directory)?

If you would like my full .htaccess it is here:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

# skip all files and directories from rewrite rules below
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

RewriteRule search/(.+)/?$ search.php?query=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule search/?$ search.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule register/?$ registerpage.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule login/?$ loginpage.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule home/?$ home.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule users/?$ users.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule error/?$ error.php [NC,L]

RewriteRule ^mail/ - [L,R=404]
ErrorDocument 400 http://localhost/postin/error
ErrorDocument 401 http://localhost/postin/error
ErrorDocument 403 http://localhost/postin/error
ErrorDocument 404 http://localhost/postin/error
ErrorDocument 500 http://localhost/postin/error
ErrorDocument 502 http://localhost/postin/error
ErrorDocument 504 http://localhost/postin/error

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

You can use :

DirectoryIndex /errorpage.php

This should be the ver first line in your htaccess
