Does space usage indicator show used/free account space on mail server or in database?

This indicator shows used/free account space in the mailbox on the mail server and it doesn’t matter which type of account synchronization you’re using. But please note, in non-direct mode, the indicator value is more accurate in the case if you have performed synchronization (getting new mails) recently. How does it work? In non-direct mode, AfterLogic WebMail Pro retrieves sizes of all e-mails in the mailbox and stores them in the database during synchronization or getting new e-mails, i.e. makes a snapshot of the mailbox. In the case if some new e-mails have arrived into the mailbox since the previous synchronization, WebMail Pro will not be notified about them until you perform synchronization again. That’s why the indicator may not be 100% accurate. In direct mode, WebMail Pro works directly with the mail server and the indicator always shows accurate value.
