[rt-users] Rt 3.0.10 Windows Version - Fetchmail not working

[Christian Fischer]

I have got this working but originaly had problems - different to yours
I
think. My issue was resolved by ensuring that cygwin could resolve a
home
direcotry for the user that started fetchmail.
If you have cygwin for any other reason this probably is not your
problem.
In my case the cygwin dll's with fetchmail were the only piece of cygwin
that was required.
