A tip on macosxhints shows people who use Mail and who have upgraded from Panther to Tiger how to save significant amounts of hard disk space by deleting files in their ~/Library/Mail/Mailfolders folder. These are files that Panther’s Mail app needed but Tiger’s does not.

It refers to an Apple tech note on the issue with further instructions. (Naturally it recommends backing up the folders first).

I did this yesterday and reduced my Mailfolders folder by 25%. It might save you some space too.
