When I had to search for a large e-mail, I went for the try-and-see-if-it-works method, and used the search term size:5000000 to find e-mail of 5MB large, and that seemed to actually find all my emails larger than 5MB. I tried different numbers and it seemed to work consistently.

Even though this operator isn't documented in the advanced search options, it worked for me. :)

As of November, 2012, this is now an officially-supported search operator. The syntax is a little different than it was.

to find emails larger than 5MB, you can search for size:5m or larger:5m

EDIT: searching Google I didn't find anyone yet who reported this method, but I'll keep searching.
