[issue9557] test_mailbox failure under a Windows VM

[Antoine Pitrou]

Well, on my new setup (Windows 7 VM with a Python checkout located on an SMB drive), the test sometimes passes and sometimes fails, regardless of the patch.
I suspect that maybe maildir requires atomicity guarantees that a network FS won't provide.
