Petri Lehtinen <pe...@digip.org> added the comment: This might be the only way to fix #1599254, see http://bugs.python.org/issue1599254#msg30590. If another program is waiting on the fcntl lock (and doesn't use dotlocking), as soon as mailbox.py closes the original file (to replace it with a new file) and releases the lock, the other program writes its message to the now deleted original file.
