Although there were no other signs of that (like the "Startup disk full" alert.)
Because this involved GMail, my thoughts* were the problem was with Safari. It wasn't until after we went through clearing cookies + cache that I realized she had no clue how to get to GMail that way and that the problem was elsewhere. But that did clear up a few 100 MB and Mail still balked.
I'll try to find out where the downloads go, but following the adventures to clear the cache, I doubt that is anywhere but Safari's default location.
