 From <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>:
  Run cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and include that file as an attachment  
  in your report. Please do not compress the output. Just attach it as a 
  straight text file so that it can be easily viewed.

I suppose.  But then the service should have said it started.  Anyway,
I don't think it's a big deal.  Just odd.

OK.

Definitely.  And you're cygcheck output shows that '/cygdrive/h' is a 
network share.  If it requires a password to access it, then you won't
be able to use it for fetchmail.  This will keep it from starting as a
service.  Also, don't remount /, /usr/bin, and /usr/lib as text mounts.
You won't be doing yourself any favors with that.
