I saw that in an earlier post and tried to follow the instructions in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/fetchmail-6.3.9.README, but I get this result: $ cygrunsrv --install fetchmail --path /usr/bin/fetchmail --env HOME="$HOME" --user "$USERDOMAIN\\$USERNAME" '-w ' --args '--daemon 300 --nodetach' --shutdown $ cygrunsrv -S fetchmail cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService: Win32 error 1069: The service did not start due to a logon failure. I have both cron and sshd running as services, so that much works, but they may be running as the system user (whatever it's called). I don't know how to diagnose this sort of failure.
