182887 - show folder size in folder properties

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 64754

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

It would be nice if the Folder size (in kilobytes or something) would be shown
in the folder properties, and maybe also the size that's wasted by not
compressing it (and while you're at it, perhaps also the number of messages that
are deleted but not purged).


I'm told that Netscape 4.x did show it, so adding 4xp keyword.

already fixed in Mozilla 1.3a : it's not a folder property, it's a column in the
folder-pane (not selected by default)

had I wanted a column, I would have said so.

You want this for all/all, don't you?
(Don't make me file the same bug for Windows...)

of course :)

Extra suggestion, but no point in opening a new report...:

Have the folder size (space used on disk) information as an extra section on the
status bar, by the unread and total figures would be useful.

related: bug 78034, but that only mentions IMAP
