Thanks jason for the help.

You are welcome.

I wanted to do it nt/2000 way only, without installing any compiler.

Huh?

I have registered the cygwin dll and got it working.

If you are using fetchmail-5.9.6-win32-setup-v1.0.1 under Windows 2000
(and possibly XP), then the following should be of interest:

    http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-08/msg00628.html

Note that the official Cygwin fetchmail-6.2.1-1 package has already been
patched to address the above issue.

BTW, the "FETCHMAIL for Win32" package:

    http://spt.free.fr/fetchmail/fetchmail-5.9.6-win32-setup-v1.0.1.exe

is violating the GPL (due to omitting the Cygwin source) and Microsoft
SDK licenses (due to redistributing srvany.exe).

I have already notified the author of the "FETCHMAIL for Win32" package,
but I haven't got around to Microsoft yet... :,)
