FWIW, I don't have this problem when running fetchmail as a service.
I saw that in an earlier post and tried to follow the instructions in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/fetchmail-6.3.9.README, but I get this result:
[snip]
$ cygrunsrv -S fetchmail
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService: Win32 error 1069:
The service did not start due to a logon failure.
I have both cron and sshd running as services, so that much works,
but they may be running as the system user (whatever it's called).
I don't know how to diagnose this sort of failure.
Did you heed the following from the README?
o the $USERDOMAIN\\$USERNAME account must have the "Log on as a
service" user right for Cygwin fetchmail to start as a NT service
I heeded it in the sense that I read it and understood that it might
be the problem. I did go searching in the Control Panel for likely
utilities, but I couldn't find anything in User Accounts or anywhere
else that would let me set user rights or that even told me what
they were. I did not search Windows Help and Support. That sort of
cluelessness was meant to be implicit in the statement, "I don't
know how to diagnose this sort of failure," but I suppose I should
have been more clear.
So how does one set that right?
'/usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh' has this:
editrights -u "${user}" -t SeServiceLogonRight
Try that, substituting the appropriate user for your situation and
Windows version.
