Not so. The message is still there, but it's marked in the index as deleted. The file isn't re-written until it's compacted.
I know. And that reduced the frequency of the re-write somewhat, but it doesn't change it fundamentally. Removing a message from a folder eventually requires that the entire folder data file be re-written, and that is usually when mbox files become corrupt. If the index is damaged, it'll become corrupt. If the operation is interrupted, it may become corrupt. mbox is a fairly fragile format, and one the scales very poorly.
