Count number of email sent to a person - google-apps-script

Question

I am trying to get the number of times that a person has been sent an email, so I can keep track of leads, for example
user#domain.com was emailed 5 times
user2#domain.com was emailed 3 times
From reading the docs I cannot figure this one out
Is this possible?
EDIT:
function myFunction(e) {
e = "someemail#gmail.com";
var threads = GmailApp.search("to:" + e + "");
var count = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) {
count++;
}
Logger.log(count) //1
}
This gives me threads but no number of messages

I think you are on the right lines using search() to find the sent items. This is a snippet I use to scan through all the unread emails in the inbox, and the processing that email. You'll want something similar:
var totalThreads = GmailApp.getInboxThreads().length
// Read in READ_AT_ONCE pages of email at a time
for (var pageindex = 0; pageindex < totalThreads; pageindex += READ_AT_ONCE) {
var threads = GmailApp.getInboxThreads(pageindex, READ_AT_ONCE)
var msgs = GmailApp.getMessagesForThreads(threads)
var numThreads = threads.length
// Read in all the threads in the batch
for (var threadIndex = 0; threadIndex < numThreads; threadIndex++) {
var numMsgs = msgs[threadIndex].length
// Process each msg in the thread
for (var msgIndex = 0; msgIndex < numMsgs; msgIndex++) {
var msg = msgs[threadIndex][msgIndex]
if (!msg.isUnread() || msg.isInTrash()) {
continue
}
Email_.processMsg(msg)
} // for each msg
} // for each thread
} // for each batch
