Yes, you can simply delete the "mbox" file in the user's home directories. The 
next time this user receives an email, the mbox file is recreated. However, 
this doesn't delete any messages from IMAP folders if the users created these 
folders and copied messages from the mailbox into the folders.

If the users fetch their mail via POP3, then the mbox files usually should be 
pretty small with just a system message in them. Unless they choose to delete 
mails.

That switch exports just the configuration of sites and users. Without 
webpages, mailboxes and stuff like that. So it may indeed be what you're 
looking for.
