The other day I deleted my two email accounts from Mail (one gmail & one iCloud). At the time, About This Mac was showing that I was using 27 GB for Mail files.

I also did a Finder search for Mail Downloads and deleted all old downloads.Or so I thought.

Three days later and About This Mac is still showing that I'm using 27 GB for Mail files. Is there any other place my Mail files may be hiding? I'd love to reclaim this space on my hd.

thanks!

It's probably the data in /Users/youraccount/Library/Mail. If you've deleted all of your email accounts in Mail then it is safe to delete everything in that folder.
