Afraid not. And that is _not_ something you should be doing on a regular
basis anyway. Too much re-writing to disk can eventually do some damage.
There is no need to continually rebuild just to save space. When you delete
messages or attachments, it makes room in the database which is soon filled
up again. You can keep it at a fairly constant size that way. You should
only rebuild the database if you have a problem, or once in a very long
while.
