No way, I'm afraid, at least from the app itself. You could script it
by counting some elements in the xml files in config directory, though,
not sure that's what you expect.

A quick shell command:
# for FILE in `find ~/.claws-mail/addrbook/ -type f -name 'addrbook-*.xml' | grep -v index`; do NAME=`grep '<address-book name=' "$FILE" | cut -d '"' -f 2`; COUNT=`grep '<person ' $FILE| wc -l`; printf "%s: %s\n" "$NAME" "$COUNT"; done | sort
but of course it doesn't count groups, etc.

Yes, feel free to file a feature enhance request at the tracker.
