Yes, using mbox that way is safe.
Now, I'm assuming that you're storing your mbox locally on a standard
unix filesystem rather than on an NFS-mount or on an MS-DOS partition
or something similarly weird. And as long as you avoid those, you can
be assured that using mbox is *safe*. It's not *efficient* (because
everyone who touches the mbox must lock the file first), but it is
safe.
