[issue7360] [mailbox] race: mbox may lose data with concurrent access

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Actually, the doc is quite clear about it:

« Be very cautious when modifying mailboxes that might be simultaneously
changed by some other process. The safest mailbox format to use for such
tasks is Maildir; try to avoid using single-file formats such as mbox
for concurrent writing. »
