Average size of my current inbox is almost 300KB, but this is massively
skewed because I have a bunch of large attachments hanging
around.
Average size of my archived inbox (i.e. no mailing
lists, post-filtering of various sorts) is just under 40KB.
In any case, 20MB seems... indicative of other problems.
