Notes:
In the grand scheme of things, while locking is certainly necessary (and I believe that the POP3 protocol requires mailbox locking), if properly implemented this shouldnít pose that big of a problem.
Switching to message locking seems excessive and unnecessary for POP3 environments, especially since it creates far more synchronous meta-data operations in turn for what it supposedly gives you, and itís synchronous meta-data operations that we most want to eliminate or reduce whenever possible.
