Here is a perl script that lists the largest files in a directory. I don't remember where I got this. Give it the directory you are interested in as an argument.

use File::Find;
@ARGV = $ENV{ PWD } unless @ARGV;
find ( sub { $size{ $File::Find::name } = -s if -f; }, @ARGV );
@sorted = sort { $size{ $b } <=> $size{ $a } } keys %size;
splice @sorted, 20 if @sorted > 20;
print "\n";
printf " %5dM %s\n", $size / 1024000, $_ for @sorted;
print "\n";

I use Thunderbird for email and was very surprised at how much space my mailboxes take.
