Nope. But I was under the impression that the whole point of the mailbox 'fix' (better called 'return to working order after unintentionally broken' I guess) was to reinstate the timer actually completing the countdown and deleting mail when it hit 0 days. Attachment or not.
I have multiple accounts on a couple different servers over the limit. I can tell you it causes lots of lag. Even being in a group of people the others experience the lag if I'm opening the mailbox. Kinda of like how somebody is about to DC, and the whole party locks up until the game catches up to them DC'ing. ( easiest way for me to explain it )
Personally I don't think this is a cause of the gamebreaking lag since that lag is around ALL the time, and this "bug" has been here for close to 7 years maybe.
My mails have not erased, I believe since they have things attached. I have no intention of clearing them either, Turbine will have to do that, and hopefully they create more fun in attempting to fix.
I know they have not been truthful though in what they say. While I haven't been able to get any new mails, I have been able to still send them. And while they say they are fixing lag, that might be true. But one of the side effects to the lag is my being able to send BTC items as I have repeatedly said, just not the how I was able to, and able to put things on the AH/SH that are BTA/BTC. That, is the true reason I believe they are fixing this after 7+ years.
