Where is Apple Mail stored? I moved it all to On My Mac. The server reports I still have 8.61 GB email. My email provider (IEEE) requires me to reduce my email storage to less than 2GB. Therefore I moved ALL my email folders and email to On My Mac. Where is On My Mac email actually stored? I am not allowed to buy more storage. Google actually supports IEEE but will not allow me to increase email storage in my email account. Google would allow me to buy additional storage if I used a gmail account but changing email addresses is a Herculean task I want to avoid. I am told that I still have 8.61 GB stored email. Have I actually moved my email onto my Mac? Where is the email stored on my Mac?

Apple hid the Users' Library folders...

Method 1:

From the Finder, select the Go menu at top of the screen, and choose Go to Folder.
In the window that opens, enter ~/Library/Mail, and click Go.

~/Library/Mail

What all is in that folder?
