When was the last time you 'defragged' your tables?

I often wish that email had never been invented, but there?s
just no way I can get rid of it. So, day after day, several times
a day, I dutifully delete 99% of the emails I receive, and when
I?m not able to get at my email for a few days, I?ll leave the
machine at home running to pick it up every 10 minutes so I don?t
overflow some capacity somewhere, and just the other day I caught
myself wondering who will clean out my Inbox after I?m dead.
