Add the EDB and the STM together.

Adding the edb and stm sizes together may not produce a very accurate result. The problem is that the database files are locked open by the store.exe process while the databases are online. You could dismount and remount the database in question to update the size, but this would cause a few minute outage which in unacceptable in many environments. A better way is to right click the edb and stm files, and on the properties toggle the archive bit. This will force an update to the other file properties, including size. Then you can add the edb and stm file sizes.

Once you know how big the files are, you may want to find out how much of that is data and how much is whitespace. The online maintenance task runs every night, and on completion logs a 1221 in the application log. In the test of the event id 1221, you'll find the amount of free space within the database.

For checking mailbox size
go to system manager:
First storage group >mailbox store>mailboxes
Here you can see the mailbox size of all the users in exchange .

the sum of the mailbox sizes is equal to the db siz divided by the SIS ratio; it's not the same thing.
