Simply put you can just go into the location where exchange is storing the log files and sort them by date and just look at the size of the log files. This will tell you roughly how much increase there is in your database for one day.
This if a rough figure though, as it will not take into account such exchange features as single instance storage, so the log files will be a little larger than the actual net increase on your DB's

is logs email which is then copied into the database?

You will need to disable circ logging and then look at log files.
Yes the log files is what has been written to DB

so when someone sends an internal r external email it is in the form of a log
then the log is written to the database and deleted
is that correct

so if i ever manually delete logs i am effectively deleting emails is that correct???
