For filesystems there are tolls like du, ncdu, or baobab. Is there something like this for mailboxes? That way I could quickly identify which folders use the most disk space.

How can I analyze the disk space requirements of my IMAP mailbox?

These tools can actually be used. My mail client - evolution - stores its local cache under ~/.cache/evolution/mail/<some mailbox ID>/folders/.
There the folders have clear text names and can be analyzed for example with ncdu.

Unfortunately that only works if the client has cached the whole mailbox, which is not always the case. – user1686 – 2018-01-04T15:07:08.090
