Where are emails stored?

I started noticing that my phone is slowing down, I backed up everything and installed a hybrid OS6, which gave me 120mb to start with, after I restored my text messages and emails it went down to 50mb... so I assumed it was mostly emails taking up most of the space since there are attachments to them

It makes sense to me that it's stored on device memory and not the media card, but after deleting all of my emails (over 1.5 years of emails) on my phone it made almost no difference in available storage memory...

How do I get more memory out of my phone? I'm currently using hybrid (with further shrinking) with only 15 apps installed... along with memory shrink it gets pretty sluggish at times

Thanks

Yes any email that has attachments to them are going to be larger in size so therefore it will take more space but....You email no matter what is stored on a server and you have a copy of that email on your BB. That is one reason it is suggested that an email YOU SEND once you get a replay delete the original you sent and no matter what always delete the email from the server and device, You can always keep the importantones in the saved folder if you want. I don't however think that unless you are keeping an awful lot of emails space is not the issue with email.
