I think you first want to ctar and compress. "tar tzf" is the command to
test an existing tar.gz ball.
tar czvf Mail.backup.tar.gz ~/Mail
--> will produce your backup file
tar tzvf Mail.backup.tar.gz
--> will print you out the content of the backup file, but will not
deflate it
Instead of parameter z which stands for using gzip you can use j which
stands for bzip2. See "man tar" and "tar --help".
tar cjvf Mail.backup.tar.bz2 ~/Mail
--> will better compress than using gzip
