I wouldn't.
It's an inbox. It *might* be a copy of email kept on a server, or it
*might* be the only remaining instance of all that data.
The Principle of Minimal Cockups says not to delete data until you *know*
it's not needed any more...
What I would do is to go in with Thunderbird (which obviously created that
file) & look for any infestation manually. This assumes that the mailbox
is of a manageable size, of course :-)
