Thanks for the quick reply Bruce. Sounds like it should do the trick.
Some more info, since you mention IMAP ---
The ISP has been doing things with their Mail Server / system ---
things can be set up to be POP or IMAP. I set things up to use IMAP
a couple of days ago. What a disaster. I had 1500+ e-mails in my
'inbox', I'm also on a 'dial-up' internet connection. The "IMAP"
system spent most of the day 'UPLOADING' those old E-Mails, to bring
the Server 'up-to-date'. Back to POP, so that my system is usable.
Thanks for the info.

Mail refuses to open. Claims the 'Home' directory is too full. No
room to index mail.
I have deleted/ moved files in the 'user' 'account' directory (now
less than 16 entries)
Tried Re-Booting, Safe Boot, still no joy.

Silly quesion, you emptied trash, there really IS enough room on
the Mac?
This POP or IMAP mail? If it's IMAP, just delete the account and re-
add it. If pop, move the mail-containing folders aside, drop
account, re-add account and import old mail.
(Reason 3,456 why I LOVE LOVE LOVE IMAP mail accounts.)
