Not really, I rarely receive any large attachments. If there are any, they are
typically pretty small PDF-files or similar. 

I located my folders.db files under ~/.cache/evolution and listed the size of
the subdirectories in that location, and it was 12M for one account and 686 MB
for the other. Currently evolution has written ~2GB since the last restart,
which was just a few hours ago.

I do not have any ~/.cache/evolution/http directory. I have remote content
disabled by default, perhaps that is why?

Very puzzling indeed. It would be nice to know exactly where all this data is
written, but I do not suppose there is any existing way of doing just that.

Thanks for the CTRL-L trick, I will try that (using it now!).
