Another utility to
completely do away with cywin, if you dont want to use it at all. Note, I
haven't tried mpop.

If you need
Cygwin just to run fetchmail, you might be interested in
mpop <http://mpop.sourceforge.net/> . It is
a small POP3 client that
does not require Cygwin. The configuration is very
similar to msmtp's,
because both programs share a lot of source code (I wrote
mpop, too).
A configuration similar to the following should work for
you:
--- mpoprc.txt
account default
host pop.gmail.com
user mlambers
@gmail.com
password ***
tls on
tls_starttls off
delivery mbox
c:\path\to\your\mailbox
keep on
---
This way, you do not need to
run procmail at all (though you could do
it, using "delivery mda
c:\path\to\procmail.exe -d your_user_name").
A Cygwin environment is
therefore not necessary.
mpop supports maildir folders, too, but this
feature is unfortunately
not yet ported to Windows
systems.
