I have processes written in Fortran that run on OpenVMS. The processes use VMS mailbox to communicate. I started porting those processes to windows using Intel Fortran. How to replace the VMS Mailbox communication concept in Windows-Intel Fortran ?

The closest analog would be a named pipe. Once you create the pipe you can open it like a file and do reads and writes. If you want finer control, you can use the Win32 APIs to read and write. You'll want to study the Microsoft MSDN Library description of pipes, and you may find there some other mechanism that better suits your needs.
