If you mean from outside Outlook then you need to get a reference to the
folder and then the items.count. This Google message shows a similar script:

Hi,

A quick example to display the number of messages in the Inbox:
===========
Option Explicit
Dim objOutlook, objNamespace, objFolder

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNamespace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objFolder = objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(6)

Wscript.Echo objFolder.Items.Count

Will that, or something similar, work with Outlook Express?

No, Outlook Express doesn't expose a COM interface.
