Where is my MAIL stored?

I use Mail on my iPhone with my gmail.com account.

I just wondered where is my mail stored on the iPhone once Mail checks and downloads new emails?

I am pretty sure that it is stored in a MySQL Lite DB. Not a whole lot is stored as separate files on the iPhone. Then again, it could save them as individual files.

Are you wanting to know the directory for SSHing?

Yeah, I wouldn't mind know that.

I just curious about how much space my emails were taking up on my iPhone, as some of the emails I have are quite big in file size (attachments etc.)

Anyone else?

Attacments don't get downloaded unless you click on them. So someone can send you a 100mb file and the mail app won't care unless you explicitly open it from the phone, at least with IMAP. The email is stored in a database but not sure where it keeps fetched attachments. Probably a system folder?
