in v2 folder there 3 folders - 'mailboxes' 'maildata' & @gmail a/c folder.
mailboxes contains user installed folders installed in mails sidebar.
maildata .plist files etc
@gmail contains a/c inbox/drafts/sent messages etc.

if ews a/c folder in v2 dont delete it.
if want delete emails a/c open .mbox , drill down till folder full of .emix files. these emails stored on mac. have open each .mbox file ( i.e. inbox/sent/trash etc ) remove emails folders. if have created folders in sidebar have same in mailboxes folder.
