Why do I keep getting this? I've deleted everything (practically) from my mail.

Apparently there isn't enough space in your home folder.

I understand. I went to the home folder, and I'm not sure what to delete. I deleted some stuff, but I'm a little concerned I might delete something of importance. What is it looking for me to delete?
I have been having this issue for a long time and it has nothing to do with how much space there is on my hard drive. I did a complete erase and install and this message has persisted, even with over 100 GB of free space on my drive. After moving my photo libraries to an external drive, I'm gettin the message with 958 GB free. I've only got about 30 GB of mail. I'm running Catalina 10.15.4. I'm the only user of this computer. Did the erase/reinstall about a month ago. The only thing that sometimes provides a temporary fix is to "apply to enclosed items" on my home folder permissions. But sometimes that doesn't work either. Very frustrating. A senior tech told me that someone had posted an answer on the community site but I can't seem to locate it.
Check the free space on your drive before deleting anything.
I had this erroneous error message with hundreds of gigabytes free.
I couldn't resolve the problem in any way I could think of except erasing the drive and reinstalling the OS.
I don't know if I needed to erase, but I did.
After reinstalling the OS, I migrated the data back from my Time Machine backup.
You can delete anything you want to delete in your Home folder, but only you can decide what is important to you.
Mail cannot save information about your mailboxes...not enough space. (??)
