Does using Mail take up GB?

Hi,

     I was wondering if having a lot of email accounts on Mail takes up GB. Does it?

Yes. It akes up storage space.  However, it usually is not much.If you are using Iclod, go to Settinbgs>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storeage>Mail you can see how much.

The number of accountts doesn't matter. The number of emails and their sizes (attachments, etc), does matter and does take up space. IMAP account emails can be deleted locally and will still be stored/archived on the server.

I believee, but am not sure, that the Mail setting for how many recent emails to show also controls how many emails are stored on tthe device. Anyone knows for sure?

Also one last question. How do I delete the accounts from Mail?

Go to Mailbox Menu and click Delete Mailbox

I don't think there is a solution. I don't think Apple wants to find a solution. Personally, after 5 years of problems, I definitely believe that it's a BIG BUG!
Well, I tried everything, from Hard reset to manually delete mail.

The ONCE solutions to delete the "personal email account" (or more if you have more accounts) and then register it again.

I tried to change the option from IMAP to POP3: Same problem. Even if You delete manually your email, they remain stored and neither the "genius" in the assistence know where. In those years I talked to the upper level of engineer in the assistence, and no way to understand what happens.
Well, we thought the problem came ot from "spotlight" that allows you to search emai stored: Neither! Deactivating spotlight always the same problem. No email in the smartphone, 3 GB space used. I lost a lot of time doing the hardest test with Apple engineers at phone.

The summary? well, my guarantee expired and NO ANSWER to the problem!
