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.
