Try compiling and running the following script. It displays a dialog
in Entourage with the results, which you can copy to the clipboard if
you wish. It takes a few seconds to run, depending on how many folders
and messages you have, since it has to get the physical size of each
individual message.

set {msgCount, folderCount, sizecount} to ProcessFolder(application
