On one of my Macs some of the built in apps folders (mail, contacts, notes) is many times larger than on my other Macs.

I want to rebuild the folders.

My plan was to uncheck the syncing of these items under Internet accounts and then delete the following folders:
Library/Application Support/AddressBook
Library/Application Support/Mail/V7
Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.notes

Then recheck the the syncing of these items.

Will this work or will it mess thing up? Is there a better way?
Also, I really don't want to have to go through and reconfigure all of the settings for these apps.

Are all the mail settings and customizations located in other folders (including signatures, mail rules, etc)
Contact groups

Thanks
