I've done this. Over the years, my mailbox has accumulated thousands and thousands of emails thanks to being subscribed to many mailing-lists. Mail.app has gotten fairly unresponsive and took about 10 - 15 seconds to start up. After running this command, Mail.app starts up instantly!

Definitely give this a go.
