Log Message:
Using smb_lock/unlock more regularly

A locked SMB should be quickly closed and not re-opened until it's unlocked.

This mainly to better support packing/rebuilding the mail base while other
processes (e.g. the mail server) are up and potentially trying to use it.

smbutil did lock it, but not everything quickly responded to a locked base and
the index-rebuilding code in sbbs_t::delmail() didn't lock it.
