My first check would be the user's mail spool (/var/mail/username).

If you still can not find the files, try using find:

# find -user username_of_person /quota/volume/mount/point/

To exclude the user's home directory, just do something like this:

# find -user username_of_person /quota/volume/mount/point/ | grep -v '^/home/directory/of/user'

Also, make sure you're comparing the same units.  'du -h' is your
friend.
