No experience, but I recently did try to use imap-2006a (the latest UW IMAP=
 release) and it compiles cleanly with no changes but after running for a w=
hile it hits problems with advisory locking (which doesn't exist in Cygwin =
since it is using Windows mandatory locking).

Installed as service?

Running under what user & what Windows version?

No messages in the event log (or syslog if you are using it)?

Last year there was some report similar to yours:

  http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/62823

but I've heard no comments about experience actually running the server.

Dovecot is another server that compiles easily, but their Wiki seems to poi=
nt to the same problem with advisory locking under Cygwin.

As you can see, there are a few of us interested in this subject but, as yo=
u say, there isn't much experience reported.
