OK, sorry for the very inaccurate way I used to explain my situation :(

I have several emails accounts (IMAP) not locally saved 
(most of my mails stay on servers)

To have the equivalent of "tree"/"du"/"find*" ...  ... I have to kindly ask
to the admin of the remote mail server where I have no access via ssh
and I cannot ask too frequently !

PS: thanks to remember the "tree" command ! 
("good old time")


* find . -type d -exec du -sh {} \; | sort -rh
