See my next post...

The following (untested and ugly) workaround should work:

    $ cygrunsrv --install "fetchmail for $USERNAME1" --path /usr/bin/fetchmail --env HOME=$HOME1 --user "$USERDOMAIN\\$USERNAME1" --args '--daemon 300 --nodetach' --shutdown
    $ cygrunsrv --install "fetchmail for $USERNAME2" --path /usr/bin/fetchmail --env HOME=$HOME2 --user "$USERDOMAIN\\$USERNAME2" --args '--daemon 300 --nodetach' --shutdown
    $ cygrunsrv --install "fetchmail for $USERNAME3" --path /usr/bin/fetchmail --env HOME=$HOME3 --user "$USERDOMAIN\\$USERNAME3" --args '--daemon 300 --nodetach' --shutdown
    ...

where:

    $USERNAMEn => user n's user name
    $HOMEn     => user n's home directory
