Am I missing something here, with all you really power-user types keeping bloated databases?
I've never understood it either. But some people obsessively keep every last email they ever get, and can't bring themselves to throwing them out.
Personally, I get lots of email that I can't dispose of for long periods of time, but I don't need to keep them in my email app. I archive them to a single text file for easy searching, and stick them with the job files they go with when the job wraps up. Sometimes that means they are in my mail app for a few weeks, other times longer, but never so long as to cause my mail database to swell to gargantuan sizes.
I think the largest my Emailer database ever got was around 300 MB, usually it was more in the 180 MB size range.
