Du command and modified date in ssh

Hello,

I am a new user to linux and having trouble completing this task. I want to list a directory of files and folders including the name, human readable size, and last modified date. So far I can get two of the three but not all together. For example:

Using ls -lh gives me

Code:
drwxr-xr-x  3 newuzer newuzer    29 Aug  7 03:26 who am i now?
drwxr-xr-x  2 newuzer newuzer    72 Apr  9  2014 WWW folder name 1
-rw-r--r--  1 newuzer newuzer  3.3M Aug  1 10:57 Walrus news.epub
-rw-r--r--  1 newuzer newuzer  699M Aug 17 04:52 wonderful whales.avi
drwxr-xr-x  4 newuzer newuzer    47 Aug 18 05:24 Wyynot2
-rw-r--r--  1 newuzer newuzer   70M Aug  7 10:27 zylopedia.pdf
drwxr-xr-x  3 newuzer newuzer    21 Jul  7 02:19 zzz folder5

This is showing me the name, date, and file size for files only, the directories are not showing the size properly

Using du -hs * gives me

Code:
1.7G   who am i now?
18M    WWW folder name 1
3.3M   Walrus news.epub
699M  wonderful whales.avi
28G    Wyynot2
70M    zylopedia.pdf
3.1M   zzz folder5

The directories are now showing the correct size, the files still have the correct size , but the date/time is missing. I dont really need the permissions so that missing is ok.

How can i get all three name, date/time modified, and size to display? I would like the entries listed as they appear in the directory -files then folders- or with folders/files list in alphabetical order

Any assistance provided would be appreciated.

Thanks

folders(1)						      General Commands Manual							folders(1)

NAME
folders - list folders and contents (only available within the message handling system, mh) SYNOPSIS
folders [+folder] [msg] [options] OPTIONS
Lists only the name of folders, with no additional information. This is faster because the folders need not be read. Prints a list of the valid options to this command. Lists the contents of the folder-stack. No +folder argument is allowed with this option. Re-numbers mes- sages in the folders. Messages are re-numbered sequentially, and any gaps in the numbering are removed. The default operation is -nopack, which does not change the numbering in the folder. Discards the top of the folder-stack, after setting the current folder to that value. No +folder argument is allowed with this option. This corresponds to the popd operation in the C-shell; see csh(1). The -push and -pop options are mutually exclusive: the last occurrence of either one overrides any previous occurrence of the other. Pushes the current folder onto the folder-stack, and makes the +folder argument into the current folder. If +folder is not given, the current folder and the top of the folder-stack are exchanged. This corresponds to the pushd operation in the C-shell; see csh(1). The -push switch and the -pop switch are mutually exclusive: the last occurrence of either one overrides any previous occurrence of the other. Lists folders recur- sively. Information on each folder is displayed, followed by information on any sub-folders which it contains. Displays only the total number of messages and folders in your Mail directory. This option does not print any information about individual folders. It can be sup- pressed using the -nototal option. The defaults for folders are: +folder defaults to all msg defaults to none -nofast -noheader -nototal -nopack -norecurse DESCRIPTION
The folders command displays the names of your folders and the number of messages that they each contain. The folders command displays a list of all the folders in your Mail directory. The folders are sorted alphabetically, each on its own line. This is illustrated in the following example: Folder # of messages ( range ); cur msg (other files) V2.3 has 3 messages ( 1- 3). adrian has 20 messages ( 1- 20); cur= 2. brian has 16 messages ( 1- 16). chris has 12 messages ( 1- 12). copylog has 242 messages ( 1- 242); cur= 225. inbox+ has 73 messages ( 1- 127); cur= 127. int has 4 messages ( 1- 4); cur= 2 (others). jack has 17 messages ( 1- 17); cur= 17. TOTAL= 387 messages in 8 folders. The plus sign (+) after inbox indicates that it is the current folder. The information about the int folder includes the term (others). This indicates that the folder int contains files which are not messages. These files may be either sub-folders, or files that do not belong under the MH file naming scheme. The folders command is identical to the effect of using the -all option to the folder command. If you use folders with the +folder argument, it will display all the subfolders within the named folder. as shown in the following exam- ple: % folders +test Folder # of messages ( range ); cur msg (other files) test+ has 18 messages ( 1- 18); (others). test/testone has 1 message ( 1- 1). test/testtwo has no messages. TOTAL= 19 messages in 3 folders. See refile(1) for more details of sub-folders. RESTRICTIONS
MH does not allow you to have more than 100 folders at any level in your Mail directory. PROFILE COMPONENTS
