Default How much physical disk space Zimbra will use ?

Hello Everyone:
Below example is to figure out how much capacity planning we need to do in terms of PHYSICAL SAPCE on disks

If we have 100 Emails of 1 MB Each

Splitting the size of each email for hypothetical example:
Aprox. 5 KB Header Text
Aprox. 500 KB Body Text
Aprox. 500 KB Attachment

So how much physical disk space Zimbra will use roughly, excluding logging and stuff

1) Aprox. 100 x 1 = 100MB or more to keep the mails in FILE STORE
2) Aprrx. Index Size ?]
3) Aprox. Mysql Size ?
4) Any other space requirements for Zimbra

If above example is not good enough then any other way we can do disk space capacity planning.
i.e.: For every 1 GB Of Physical Email File Store how much more space Zimbra will use roughly.

Thanks
