@pindex messages

@command{Messages} prints on standard output the number of messages
contained in each folder specified in command line.  If no folders
are specified, it operates upon user's system mailbox.  For each
folder, the following output line is produced:

@example
Number of messages in @var{folder}: @var{number}
@end example

@noindent
where @var{folder} represents the folder name, @var{number} represents
the number of messages.

The following configuration file statements affect the behaviour of 
@command{messages}:

@multitable @columnfractions 0.3 0.6
@headitem Statement @tab Reference
@item debug         @tab @xref{debug statement}.
@item tls           @tab @xref{tls statement}.
@item mailbox       @tab @xref{mailbox statement}.
@item locking       @tab @xref{locking statement}.
@end multitable

In addition to the common mailutils options (@pxref{Common Options}),
the program accepts the following command line options:

@table @option
@item -q
@itemx --quiet
@itemx -s
@itemx --silent
Be quiet.  Display only number of messages per mailbox, without leading text.
@end table
