Hi Craig,

Solved the problem. 

For others who is going to face the same problem,

A utility called NTFILEMON helped me in resolving the problem and this
is what I did,

I installed cygwin (from www.cygwin.com) and copied the cygwin1.dll from
cygwin installation to fetchmail\bin directory. Then owner of
rt-mailgate.conf file was changed to administrator (user who runs
fetchmail). When rt-mailgate was run it tries to create the pid in
c:\cygwin\home\administrator folder, which was not there (So it fails).
So I created c:\cygwin\home\administrator folder. Everything works fine
now.

Thank you for your guidelines Craig.

Regards,
Indika.
