It doesn't come from Dovecot. Probably some of the libraries
dovecot-auth is linked against is failing and returns that error. Does
Cygwin have "ldd"? What does "ldd dovecot-auth" say?
Well, there is a cygcheck.exe, the output for dovecot-auth is
$ cygcheck.exe dovecot-auth
Found: C:\cygwin\usr\libexec\dovecot\dovecot-auth.exe

Well, what confuses me more ist that after fisrt launch the log is
dovecot: Nov 17 21:39:11 Info: Dovecot v1.0.7 starting up
dovecot: Nov 17 21:39:11 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down
the next start creates
dovecot: Nov 17 21:40:30 Info: Dovecot v1.0.7 starting up
dovecot: Nov 17 21:40:30 Error: Socket already exists:

dovecot: Nov 17 21:40:30 Error: child 1296 (auth) returned error 53
only removing /var/run/dovecot/dict-server creates

after removing the whole directory /var/run/dovecot again there is only,
without any error code
