Can't get to emails. Server load spikes when I try.

I'm trying to determine if one of my mail boxes is so full it's bogging down my dedicated server. It's the default account set up by WHM for that user (who is me, not a client) and I can't get into it to see if there's a ton of mail.

Whenever I try to get in via either Horde, Squirrelmail or Neomail it times out. It also starts a massive spike in my server load (like 14.00 and higher). It could be a coincidence, but it really seems to only spike when I try accessing that mail account.

The problem is I don't want to just wipe out the inbox for that account. I've been missing emails for about 2 weeks and I think they're in there. I really would like to get in and see before deleting them all.

Can I get in and view the mail through SSH? Or maybe through WHM?

Thanks in advance!
