We really need all the information requested by:

Seems very odd that '/var/log/fetchmail.log' exists after the failed
attempt to start fetchmail as a service.  Are you sure it was deleted
to start with?  Also, if '/cygdrive/h' is a password protected share 
(which cygcheck output would tell me), fetchmail won't be able to access 
it.
