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:
$ cygrunsrv --install fetchmail --path /usr/bin/fetchmail --env HOME="$HOME" --user "$USERDOMAIN\\$USERNAME" '-w ' --args '--daemon 300 --nodetach' --shutdown
$ 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.

Gary
