simple one for the wishlist

it would nice if the size (diskspace) of the INBOX file were reported in the imp 
header ('folders' would not be accessible without dorking with filesytem access 
<yuck>)  

for example:

Message Composition  |  108 new, 0 recent  | INBOX size: 17005K

something simple like:

$userName="jsmith";
$inboxDir="/var/spool/mail/";

echo "INBOX size: " . ceil((filesize($inboxDir . $userName)/1000)) . "K";

would do it (the variables defined here should obviosuly be replaced with those 
already defined in the app -- sorry, i just don't have the time/familiarity to 
track down where these are hidden or would have a more specific code snippet.)

anyway, i think it would be helpful for users to know how much space they are 
taking up at least in this respect. in a utopian world this information would be 
available for the folders as well, but unless imap will report that kind of 
thing, the aforementioned unpleasantry would be necessary.
