Comparing network statistics with webmail messages is not that simple. The only way I can think for you to keep track of your messages is to sniff unencrypted packages (https wouldn't work), look for specific patterns and use that to estimate usage, of course, I'm considering your statement about bandwidth, traffic, address and the fact that something like that would be a hard, complex and not NEAR fail proof concept, along with the privacy issues, of course. Now, if you wanna keep track of YOUR messages, the best way is to activate IMAP on gmail, and use a client, configure it to store messages locally, and that's about it... Beagle would index this kinda content very easily, and your mail client too. -- Daniel da Veiga
