They should be.

I use an MBox resource with local mail as well. Also without locking. It 
works well.

Compression does not work here as well tough. I once just did "truncate 
-s 0" on the MBOX file *after* KMail received mails. Just did again. Of 
course this can only be a work-around.

I suggest opening a bug report at

https://bugs.kde.org 

is there is no such bug already reported.

Thanks,
