Philippe,

Is this what you're looking for?

$ create/mailbox/perm byebye
$ sh log byebye
   "BYEBYE" = "MBA1715:" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
$ run /det/input=nl:/output=nl: sys$system:loginout.exe/mailbox=1715
%RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 2020BA2B
$ open in byebye
$ read in rec
$ close in
$ stat = f$extract (4,4,rec)
$ a = f$cvui (0,32,stat)
$ sh sym a
  A = 1   Hex = 00000001  Octal = 00000000001
$ delete/mailbox byebye
%DELETE-I-MBXDEL, Mailbox BYEBYE has been marked for deletion

Jim.
