Getting mailbox size info is very different from the simple list view in previous Exchange versions. However if you take some time and use the Powershell/Console, you can extract all the information you need.
Here is a niffty command that you can use to generate a report that will give you some statistics on your users mailbox sizes. It requests information on mailboxes greater than 1 MB and outputs the data to a txt file. You can however modify it with other various shell commands.
Get-MailboxStatistics |where {$_.TotalItemSize -gt 1MB} | sort $_.TotalItemSize |FT DisplayName,ItemCount,TotalItemSize >c:\size.txt
