The problem with mbox is that there is no reliable way to check
whether it is safe to read the mbox file or not.  I.e.: Maybe another
process is currently appending a message to the mbox.  Or removes
something while WL is reading the file.  Or uses a locking mechanism
the prevents WL from reading the file.
