Determining the size of individual folders in Mail view.

It will be difficult because the folders just hold pointers to the back end documents. You would have to get a collection of all the documents in that folder and try to sum them up.

Or you could modify the view to add a size column and total it up

can you tell me how to do this??

thanks

I figured out how to total a size colum in an individual folder, now I need to know how to do this:  (written as part of the solution given in another request)

"then later i used "Upgrade Folder Desgin" to apply changes to all folders and it works for all."

From sjef bosman, I was able to find out how to determine the total size for individual folders - thanks.

I now have 3 problems:
1 - I have multiple layers of subfolders within subfolders within folders.  I'd like to be able to get one total size of all subfolders within a folder (i.e. not just a size column total for each individual subfolder - as I have to add up all of the individual subfolder size totals to get a grand total which takes a long time to administer.)

2 - For a folder that has numerous subfolders inside of it, when I change the Size column to "Total" for the main folder, it removes the subfolders from the folder and makes them 1st level folders - any idea why?

3 - After changing the Size column properties for one folder, how do I apply it to all folders so that I don't have to change the Size column properties for each individual folder??

Awesome thanks...

Any answer to my problem "I have multiple layers of subfolders within subfolders within folders.  I'd like to be able to get one total size of all subfolders within a folder (i.e. not just a size column total for each individual subfolder - as I have to add up all of the individual subfolder size totals to get a grand total which takes a long time to administer.)"

This is key for us.
Thanks.

What's the use?? One mail can be in several folders, but it's still one mail. The sum of all mails in all folders will most likely be greater than the real size of the database. I hope it's taken into consideration as well...

Actually - there is a use.

Instead of having to add a total to every Size column in every subfolder (in some cases multiple layers of subfolders) and then adding them up, we'd like to be able to find out from the root level folder what the total Size is for ALL subfolders within that folder.

Please let me know if you can help me with this or not.

Thanks.
