Not wanting to go off topic too much, but I am wondering
why you try to go to the trouble of getting courier-imap
to run on Cygwin at all, when there are so many virtualization
application available for Windows as well.

After all, it's well known that Cygwin does not and for some aspects
simply cannot support the full POSIX API and is also really slow, 
depending on what you do with it. Cygwin is a wonderful thing for
the desktop to play with, but it is a production ready replacement
for a standard conforming POSIX Unix environment that ensures every
little part of courier-imap is run the same way as on the real thing?
I wouldn't rely on that.

A fully functional and robust email infrastructure tends to be pretty
important for many people, if you are among that group, why
not simply install your favourite distribution in your
favourite virtualization system on your Windows server
and be done with it? ;)

The extra main memory overhead shouldn't be more than a couple of
100MiB.

Just my two cents...
