shared_ptr has atomic security model, where memory is deleted only when last reference is deleted

That would make sense if we had several threads interacting with mail (like mail expiration thread). But my assumption is that all mail-related logic is handled only in the world thread, so there are no concurrent interactions — no issues.

but lets say, item is removed by other threads or processes, lets say you make handling item destruction case, you go to vendor, you trigger item repair, such item may has limited timed duration, and item gets removed during repair/enchant process

and before applying repair/enchant tasks, item could be gone

I think you are overestimating concurrency in AC. There are not that many parallel things that can happen. I believe a situation like the one you described is still handled in the same thread and isn't concurrent.

this pretty much mainly can happen in ahbot, if you set 1k+ items and very short mail expiration time
