macOS Mojave: Apple Mail Mailbox increases in size drastically after upgrade to Mojave

OK... First i was using Mac OSX Yosemite
I upgraded to MacOS Mojave from the app store as apple launched it.

POst the upgrade my mails beca,e a little slow
So i tried to export all mails and do a clean install.

To my surprise when i exported all my mails the total size was 87 GB
The size of my mail box on Yosemite was usually 22-25 GB, yes i have many many old mails from work
The size just doubled, infact tripled

Then i did a clean install of mojave but the mail size was again 80+ GB
how did this happen, can any one help me.

I noticed one thing, if there was an attachment like a small video say 10MB on the mail, that mail showed as 200 or even more as total size.
Why is that

What do i do to reduce this mail box sizes as now i wish to do a clean install of macOS Mojave

I would doubt that doing a clean install again is going to improve anything, but I don't know why there would be such an increase and I don't do Mojave.

Maybe some member will have an answer for you or maybe someone at the other site you seem to have posted to as well:
