Even 7 GB seems big, until you archive anything, so go back in time and clear out the trash. Steve

1. Clear out the big stuff. Text-only emails barely take up any space. The big stuff are emails with attachments, especially video files, big pdfs or pictures, audio files, Power Point documents and the like. Do a search for has:attachment and delete as many as you can. If you want to delete emails with attachments before a certain date, add “before:2007/01/01″ (as an example). If you just want to search for certain types of attachments, try the search operator “filename:” and search for filenames such as mpg, mov, mp4, mp3, wav, pdf, and ppt. Delete with abandon."
