Did you read the README?

    /usr/doc/Cygwin/fetchmail-5.9.11.README

or

    http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/fetchmail/fetchmail-5.9.11.README

Specifically, the following:

    Although fetchmail builds OOTB under Cygwin, two patches have been
    applied to:

        1. solve a mail corruption problem under Windows 2000 (possibly
           other Windows versions)

I recommend using mutt/fetchmail/procmail under Cygwin.  I've been using
this combination very successfully for about a year.  The corruption
