Easier from a term to cd into that particular dir => (example) /home/yankdownunder/.thunderbird/y6mq40ha.default Once in there, you can type "du -sch" which will give you the ACTUAL size in human readable form: [EMAIL PROTECTED] y6mq40ha.default]$ du -sch 3.1M . 3.1M total ---------------------------------------------- And then by moving into the actual mail dirs you can get: /home/yankdownunder/.thunderbird/y6mq40ha.default/Mail/Local Folders [EMAIL PROTECTED] Local Folders]$ ls -CFalh total 24K drwx------ 2 yankdownunder yankdownunder 336 Sep 26 22:09 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 yankdownunder yankdownunder 80 Sep 26 22:09 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 yankdownunder yankdownunder 0 Sep 26 22:09 Drafts -rw-r--r-- 1 yankdownunder yankdownunder 1.5K Sep 26 22:27 Drafts.msf -rw-r--r-- 1 yankdownunder yankdownunder 1.2K Sep 26 22:27 Junk.msf -rw-r--r-- 1 yankdownunder yankdownunder 0 Sep 26 22:09 Sent -rw-r--r-- 1 yankdownunder yankdownunder 1.5K Sep 26 22:27 Sent.msf -rw-r--r-- 1 yankdownunder yankdownunder 1.2K Sep 26 22:27 Templates.msf -rw-r--r-- 1 yankdownunder yankdownunder 0 Sep 26 22:09 Trash -rw-r--r-- 1 yankdownunder yankdownunder 1.4K Sep 26 22:27 Trash.msf -rw-r--r-- 1 yankdownunder yankdownunder 0 Sep 26 22:09 Unsent Messages -rw-r--r-- 1 yankdownunder yankdownunder 1.4K Sep 26 22:27 Unsent Messages.msf ---------------------------------------------- That would at least tell you the size it takes up on the disk. Once again, though, it's dependent on how you have your mail prefs setup. Mine doesn't really take more than 3.1mb because everything lives on the server. The mailboxes aren't going to be called 'Mbox' anything - just look at what's in my Mail/Local Folders/ and you can see what they're called... -- -- YankDownUnder aka stephen kuhn #mandriva channel op - irc.freenode.net Mandriva Official IRC Support YankDownUnder -at- Mandriva -dot- org ----------------------------------------------- Running Mandriva LE2005-2.6.11-12mdk Registered Linux User # 267497 ----------------------------------------------- Dear Miss Manners: I carry a big black umbrella, even if there's just a thirty percent chance of rain. May I ask a young lady who is a stranger to me to share its protection? This morning, I was waiting for a bus in comparative comfort, my umbrella protecting me from the downpour, and noticed an attractive young woman getting soaked. I have often seen her at my bus stop, although we have never spoken, and I don't even know her name. Could I have asked her to get under my umbrella without seeming insulting? Gentle Reader: Certainly. Consideration for those less fortunate than you is always proper, although it would be more convincing if you stopped babbling about how attractive she is. In order not to give Good Samaritanism a bad name, Miss Manners asks you to allow her two or three rainy days of unmolested protection before making your attack. ------------------------------------------------ ** Real Byte Computers ** Verified Virus Free ** ------------------------------------------------
