How to copy Thunderbird folder structure and data (win10)

Thunderbird Customization

I have a very extensive folder structure in Tbird and I'd like to check folder sizes and generally rationalise where appropriate.

Does anyone know a way in which I can export the folder structure from Tbird to Excel? I'd like to include the full folder path & name, the number of messages in each folder and the size of each folder -- that is, the data that are shown in the Tbird folder panel.

Grateful for any ideas or suggestions.

In Subject, abd --> and. Sorry for typo!

I should have added that I'm using Tbird ver. 78.14.0 (64-bit) in Windows 10.

I think a quicker way would be to download wiztree from https://diskanalyzer.com/?ref=wiztree it's free and analyses your entire hard in seconds. You can then click to your desired thunderbird folder and instantly view the structure and folder sizes.
