RetrieveMailBoxSize is an Integer function that retrieves the total size of the mailbox on the POP server. 

RetrieveMailBoxSize uses the POP3 LIST command to accumulate the total mailbox size from the values returned for individual messages. 

The return value is expressed in bytes and may contain 0 (zero) when the mailbox is empty, or -1 when an exception is raised.
