I assume for mbox files there is an established protocol how the

Unfortunately, no. It is server (both smtp and imap) and OS dependent.
sucks.
There are a handful of variants (from top of head: flock locking, and
dot-file locking). The best way of checking is to look at the source
code of something which accesses mbox files, and see what they do. e.g.
an MTA like exim (which has very clear source code), or an MUA like mutt
or pine. All these are written in C.
Alternatively, if you have control over the problem domain, consider
changing to Maildir.
