There is no such version. If you are using the Cygwin package, it's
6.3.9-1, and the fetchmail version is 6.3.9. Ypu can find the fetchmail
version in the "This is fetchmail release..." line at the top of the
fetchmail -V output that you stripped.

Are you using the official Cygwin package by Jason Tishler?

Tracing the source code and taking into account your context,
we fail in this path:

transact.c -> stuffline -> SockWrite -> fm_write -> write()

write() here pertains to writing onto the network socket to the Exchange
server.

Thus, either a firewall or other network problem or component is getting in
the way, or Cygwin has hiccups, or the server is disconnecting during the
transaction (which Rob already suggested).

Please check and show the server's event log for this transaction and see
what you can do about that.

BTW, does Microsoft permit running Exchange 2007 on top of Windows XP, or
is this communication problem just their way of telling you to buy Windows
Server 2525?
