fetchmail cannot write temporary files..

check if you have a cygwin user home folder like:
C:\cygwin\home\helpdesk_mail
(where helpdesk_mail is the user account which does the mail fetching
(run as.. account used by scheduled tasks...)

the folder is created in the correct way by installing cygwin and
running it when logged on as the above account
(well that was the only way I could get it running)

> Another thread said to install the cygwin package and run it

we definetely need a better way in windows to handle the mail
processing...
for outbound mails we should use the SMTP service as included in Windows
200x Server
