I've tried "~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads" in > Go to Folder but it results in the message "Folder cannot be found"
Could this be because I'm using OS 10.7.5?

The folder’s name is the only thing that’s obvious about it: it’s deeply buried in a series of folders, one of which is invisible. To view its contents, choose Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, type (or copy and paste from here) ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads, and click Go. You should visit this folder sometime if only because it probably has at least a gigabyte of detritus, much of which you could probably trash. You’ll likely find hundreds of folders with alphanumeric names, each holding a downloaded attachment. That seemingly inefficient setup is necessary in order to avoid having identically named attachments saved to the same folder.
