I cannot remember reading about it.  Probably you message didn't
pass my manual "spam filter" (I get a few hundred a day).

In the archive, I reread your question.  You cannot use the default
dotlocking on the INBOX, but you can use the flock.  It is never
clear wether your local mail receipient is using that as well...
 my $f = $msg->open(..., lock_type => 'FLOCK');
 my $f = Mail::Box::Mbox->new(..., lock_type => 'FLOCK');

To update the folder, you use
  $folder->write(policy => 'INPLACE');
That will leave the file/permission/link as it is.
