Select Count(message) from account where account = 'thisone'

Time to checkout the zimbra source code I guess...
There are a lot of people who think that, hence REST.

Something that I have found very useful is to get the latest version of Firebug for Firefox. Once you put it into debugging mode (click the icon in the lower status bar) you can see network traffic go back and forth. That includes the SOAP requests and the javascript responses. If you make your request look like their request, it will work.

Most of the API's are documented in the soap.txt file in the ZimbraServer/Doc directory. Take a look at the ZimbraWebClient, not at the backend server.
