Storage amount seems wrong (7.1.2)

Im stuck/confused... my wife filled up her phone. Most of it is pictures (5.0gb) - but the phone says mail - 2.4gb! So, I went through and delete 687 emails and emptied trash... it still says 2.4gb?? There are still some in the inbox, but no way 2.4gb worth. I have restarted the phone as well.

If I do a backup/restore...will the emails in the inbox still be there (she would kill me if they were gone!)
