Fetchmail is exiting immediately with the "no >mailservers" error message, and that's getting logged to >/var/log/fetchmail.log... I suppose. But then the service should have said it started. Anyway, I don't think it's a big deal. Just odd. >> Are you sure it was deleted >> to start with? > >Yes.

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. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
