Run cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and include that file as an attachment
in your report. Please do not compress the output. Just attach it as a
straight text file so that it can be easily viewed.

I suppose. But then the service should have said it started. Anyway,
I don't think it's a big deal. Just odd.

OK.

Definitely. And you're cygcheck output shows that '/cygdrive/h' is a
network share. If it requires a password to access it, then you won't
be able to use it for fetchmail. This will keep it from starting as a
service. Also, don't remount /, /usr/bin, and /usr/lib as text mounts.
You won't be doing yourself any favors with that.
