Hello,

Email data is stored in the following location:

/home/$username/mail/$domain/$email-account/

Thus, you would use these lines if you wanted to exclude the "cur" and "new" directories for every email account:

mail/*/*/cur/*
mail/*/*/new/*

Documentation on excluding files from backups is available at:

How to Exclude Files From Backups - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

Thanks!
