First read and follow the readme file for UW-IMAP in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin.

My guess is that you are missing all the user login setup (password and group
file), the documentation for that is in file login.README .

Make sure that the service is running (netstat -a | grep 143).  Then test it (if
you know how to talk to a imap server).
