Is there a neat way of finding my largest emails without searching all my folders?

My email housekeeping is atrocious, and as a result, I have stored loads of emails with large attachments. As my inbox capacity fell, I learned to detach files and store them separately, but that doesn't solve the historic issue and I am at 95% capacity again. So I need a simple way of identifying the emails with the largest attachments (>5MB) without searching all my folders one by one. Any suggestions welcome!

create a saved search for size > 5mb searching all folders. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-saved-searches
