[issue7627] mailbox.MH.remove() lock handling is broken

Thanks for your bug report!

Unfortunately, the fix isn't quite right, because on Windows you can't delete files that are open.  I think an even simpler fix is just to remove that locking; if self._locked is true, this process presumably has exclusive access to the mailbox and can just go ahead and remove the file.

I've committed this to 2.7 trunk as rev78332.

----------
resolution:  -> fixed
status: open -> closed
