In megabytes, average weekly incoming email per user, including both external and internal messages
Average message size

Thanks knightly, I have seen it and I guess I could just use the values it provides for the various user profiles, i.e., light, average, heavy, etc., andthe average message size. But I was wondering if there's a way to measure these things more precisely for our organization, then use the storage planning documentation to manually calculate 'true' mailbox size.
Since I posted this I saw some information on the Profile Analyzer, but haven't had a chance to try it yet. I'm hoping maybe that will provide what I'm looking for...?
Thanks again.
