On Snow Leopard, the mail messages are stored in the "~/Library/Mail" folder. This folder defintately has all of the e-mail messages and I am fairly certain that the Database that indexes the folders is also stored there. If it is not, then it would be in the folder that "Application Data" folder in your Library folder. Some programs use sequences like "com.apple.mail" as their names.
