With a script like this. For me it gives this answer:
Identity: ID 2
Folders: 201
Messages: 102,760
Data Folder Size: 2060mb
Save the script as a compiled script & put it in the ‘Entourage Script Menu Items’ folder in your ‘Microsoft User Data’ folder. The script can be manually run from the menu.
-- this is the line that kicks it all off and starts the recursion
-- see how it works in the 'countTheMail' routine later
set theCounts to countTheMail(application "Microsoft Entourage")
-- Now, find out where the data is
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theName to name of current identity
set theDataFolder to ((path to MUD as text) & "Office 2004 Identities:" & theName)
end tell
-- and get it's size from the finder
tell application "Finder" to set diskUse to physical size of item theDataFolder
--convert bytes to megabytes
set theSize to (diskUse / 1048576 + 0.5) div 1
-- We got the info from the routines below, now we display it
-- and record the button pressed in the dialog box
set buttonPushed to display dialog "Identity \"" & theName & "\"" & return & ¬
"You have " & commafy(item 2 of theCounts) of me & " mailfolders containing " & commafy(item 1 of theCounts) of me & " messages" & return & ¬
"The mail occupies " & theSize & "mb of disk space." buttons {"Copy…", "O.K."} ¬
default button 2
if the button returned of buttonPushed is not "O.K." then
set the clipboard to "Identity: " & theName & return & ¬
"Folders: " & commafy(item 2 of theCounts) of me & return ¬
& "Messages: " & commafy(item 1 of theCounts) of me & return ¬
& "Data Folder Size: " & theSize & "mb" & return
end if
on countTheMail(theMailFolder)
-- this is the main recursive loop. Remember that all variables
-- used here are LOCAL and are reset each time the routine is entered
-- this routine is entered once for each mail folder found
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theFolders to every folder of theMailFolder
set mailcount to 0
-- count the folders at this level
set folderCount to count theFolders
repeat with aFolder in theFolders
-- and for every folder, count the messages
set mailcount to mailcount + (count every message of aFolder)
-- do we need to go down another level?
if every folder of aFolder is not {} then
-- yes we do, so...
-- ...recursively call this routine, using this folder as the start point :)
set temp to my countTheMail(aFolder)
-- and update folder & message counts
set mailcount to mailcount + (item 1 of temp)
set folderCount to folderCount + (item 2 of temp)
end if
-- next folder at current level
end repeat
end tell
-- now, send the answer back up the line
return {mailcount, folderCount}
end countTheMail
on commafy(theNum)
-- Another recursive routine that converts an integer to a western formatted
-- number with commas between the 'thousand' groupings
if theNum > 999 then return (commafy(theNum div 1000) & "," & text -3 thru -1 of ("00" & ((theNum mod 1000) as text)))
return theNum as text
end commafy
