dovecot - Dec 2016 - Simple way to get mailbox size by folder.

Is there a simple way to get each mailbox size using dovecot's IMAP
interface?  The GETQUOTAROOT and GETQUOTA seems to work with the full
maildir size and not the individual folders.

I am finding a simple way for the webmail client to show usage of each
folder.

Thanks
Vijay

$ doveadm mailbox status -u cmouse all INBOX
INBOX messages=9206 recent=0 uidnext=33115 uidvalidity=1451655531 unseen=7
highestmodseq=39954  vsize=538582181 guid=d595a62d65818656f72c000074be03de

$ doveadm -fjson mailbox status -u cmouse at cmouse.fi all INBOX
[{"mailbox":"INBOX","messages":"9206","recent":"0","uidnext":"33115","uidvalidity":"1451655531","unseen":"7","highestmodseq":"39954","vsize":"538582181","guid":"d595a62d65818656f72c000074be03de"}]

JSON support might not be available in your version, if it's old enough.

If you want an IMAP specific method (rather than doveadm), you are 
stuck with "FETCH 1:* (RFC822.SIZE)".  With the nasty requirement - if
you want 100% full accuracy - that you need to track responses to ensure 
that each size is only counted once.  Practically speaking this 
shouldn't happen by any reasonable server, but the warning needs to be made.
