We really need all the information requested by: >Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html 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. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
