I started a script to download emails from a POP3 server, ill just try and dig it out for you.

<?
header('Content-Type: Text/plain');
$server = "mail.domain.co.uk";//server address
$username = "[email protected]";//username
$password = "password";//password

        $fp = fsockopen($server,110,$errno,$errdesc);
        //open connection to POP3 server
        if($fp){
            $welcome = fgets($fp,150);
            //wait for welcome message from server
            if(substr($welcome,0,3)=="+OK"){ // check that the response is ok
            
                fputs($fp,"USER $username\r\n"); //send your username
                fgets($fp,1024);                //wait for the response can check this 
                                                //repsonse for extra validity
                fputs($fp,"PASS $password\r\n");//send password
                $ack = fgets($fp,1024);            //get response on state
                if(substr($ack,0,3)=="+OK"){    //check to see if user && pass are correct
                
                    print "Login OK\n";
                
                    fputs($fp,"STAT\r\n");    //ask for the stats of the mailbox
                
                    $output = fgets($fp,1024);
                    $output = split(" ",$output);//split the response into useful inforation
                    //resonse looks like +OK 1 200
                    // first number mail count
                    //second number mailbox size
                    print "Messages:\t\t{$output[1]}\n";//display message count
                    print "MailBox Size:\t\t{$output[2]}\n";//display mail box size
                    
                }else{
                    print "Failed: $ack\n";
                }
            }else{
                print "Failed: $welcome\n";
            }
        }
?>

Hope that helps

For POP3 the STAT command returns two numbers. The first is the number of messages in the mailbox and the second is the total size of all the messages.

You can also use LIST to return the size of individual messages.
