In trying to backup my t'bird installation (which I have done without

Always on the same mbox file:

/home/cajun/mail/Saved Mail
/home/cajun/mail/ALL-Humor
tar: /home/cajun/mail: file changed as we read it
I have even went as far as to stop Dovecot when trying to backup my
t'bird. Of course, t'bird is not running at the time. Anyone have any
clues as to what might be happening?
Do an 'ls -l /home/cajun/mail' before and after the tar run to
see if tar is correct. Does new mail deliver directly to this
mailbox?
Ok, will try this Les. Thanks. Yes, mail delivers directly to this mailbox.
Then you'll need to stop the mta. But I've been looking at that
particular error from amanda for several years. Knowing whats doing it,
to me its a shrug because fetchmail (at home) is running on a 180 second
cycle.
