Anyone making any more progress on this? I have hundreds of e-mails
with attachments, if I have to open each one to find attachment size,
gail obviously isn't the solution I was hoping for.

There are, however, ways to handle this that you don't seem to be considering.
You can search like this "filename:jpg" and find just the attachments
with certain extensions. Some filetypes we know tend to be larger, so
that way you'll be finding the larger ones.
You can set up another GMail account, set this one to forward and
delete. That way this one retains everything it has, you start fresh
with the other one, and people can still use this address to send to
you, so they don't have to change. This keeps you from having to
delete at all.
You can turn on POP and download all messages, then delete ALL mail
that has an attachment. You have the attachments downloaded via the
POP, so there's no danger in loosing anything. Your mail client will
likely have a way to sort/search by size, so you could do that there
while your GMail account remains much smaller due to the mass
deletion.

MY SOLUTION: Create a label called "BIG" and apply it to emails with
attachments larger than 1MB.
Hope that helps.
Ken
How exactly do you go about applying a label to all emails with
attachments larger than 1MB? If we could do that, then that would
answer the very problem of this thread!

I think Ken's point is the active anticipation. If you have an
