I'm not convinced that it is needed.
The only risk is that your sequences might be corrupted. I prefer
that to the problems caused by stuck locks.
*might*?
I wrapped it because I get enough mail in some mailboxes that it was
guaranteed that I would get corrupted sequences on a daily basis. I've never
had a problem with stuck locks since I started using that wrapper several
years ago.
I'm curious why some people have such a strong aversion to locking mailboxes?
