The same remark as in issue7360, that is it is not robust at all to overwrite the file rather than doing an atomic rename from a temporary file. The only possible exception would be if you only /append/ to the mbox file (and that's assuming all mailbox-reading software you use be able to deal with a partially written message at the end of an mbox file).
