Probably your firewall is blocking any communication.

The configuration looks fine.  I don't use the old version of uw-imap anymo=
re
(the one distributed through Cygwin), but I do use the latest (which compil=
es
out of the box).  There was no problem with using the old version, I still =
think
its your firewall (Windows firewall).

I don't get any log output from inetd, so this is strange (and TBird is ope=
ning
and closing several connections all the time, imapd does send some output to
syslogd).

However, 0x3500 is probably Windows' error 53:

$ net helpmsg 53

The network path was not found.

Since I assume /usr/sbin/uw-imapd.exe does exist (no need to put the .exe),=
 I
have no idea what is wrong, perhaps "C:\Cygwin\bin" is not on your global
(Windows) PATH and the required libraries (.dll) can't be found.
