CDO/MAPI for mailbox size is moderately easy and can certainly be done in 
VBScript. See:

http://blogs.brnets.com/michael/archive/2004/07/07/172.aspx

It does have a couple of issues (revolving around permissions and updating the 
last login date of a mailbox). The WMI solution is much better, IMHO.

I have a sample online for that at:

AS far as mailbox size, don't even try to tackle the CDO for it. You need some 
hardcore C++ fun, and I heard somewhere that it doesn't even compile right 
unless you've got some weird stuff setup.

Since you have E2k3, you can query WMI for mailbox size, so it's really easy. 
So is folder size - just make yourself a VBS that recurses through folders with 
FileSystemObject summing the size of the files. If you need a sample lemme 
know. 

Thanks.
