I have DBMail 1.27 installed on a small network with a MySQL-InnoDB
backend.  I converted my mail services six months, or so ago, and even
with my small number of users my InnoDB tables fragmented pretty quickly. 
I am no expert with databases and had no idea that InnoDB tables needed to
be defragmented periodically.

I ran "ALTER TABLE messageblks TYPE=InnoDB" from a MySQL client recently,
and the size of the index reduced by 700 MB.

I was wondering if an InnoDB deframenting option could be built in to the
dbmail-maintenance program.  It would make it much easier to remember to
do it periodically, and easier to schedule with cron.
