I've tried many things to get this to work correctly, and I just don't
seem to be able to get it working right...  Here's my best effort:

[12:53:57][cbenson AT Prog09:~]> rm /var/log/fetchmail.log
rm: remove write-protected file `/var/log/fetchmail.log'? y
[12:54:04][cbenson AT Prog09:~]> cygrunsrv -R fetchmail
[12:54:09][cbenson AT Prog09:~]> cygrunsrv --install fetchmail --path /usr/bin/fet chmail --args "--nodetach --invisible -ucbenson -f /cygdrive/h/.fetchmailrc" -- disp FetchMail --desc "FetchMail remote mail retrieval and fowarding service un der CygWin" --env "HOME=/cygdrive/h FETCHMAILUSER=cbenson FETCHMAILHOME=/cygdri ve/h" --shutdown
[12:54:59][cbenson AT Prog09:~]> cygrunsrv -S fetchmail
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
The service has not been started.

[12:55:09][cbenson AT Prog09:~]> cat /var/log/fetchmail.log
fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified.
[12:55:09][cbenson AT Prog09:~]> cat /var/log/fetchmail.log
fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified.
[12:55:22][cbenson AT Prog09:~]> cat /cygdrive/h/.fetchmailrc
# Configuration created Tue Apr 20 10:15:52 2004 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "cbenson"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 10
poll mail.domain.com with proto IMAP
       user 'cbenson' there with password 'xxx' is 'cbenson' here
[12:56:35][cbenson AT Prog09:~]> ls -l /cygdrive/h/.fetchmailrc
-rw-r--r--    1 cbenson  mkgroup_      413 Apr 20 10:17 /cygdrive/h/.fetchmailrc

Any ideas here?  fetchmail runs charmfully from the command line...
