You're lucky, you got so far. First time I saw Emacs (that was GNU Emacs 19.3x, I believe) it seemed to me an editor with unusable defaults. =)) Well, things are going more user-friendly and that's good.

RVM> I want the mail to be left on the server. Frankly, I don't know, it's possible with Gnus (I don't use similar functinality at all, so I mostly ignore related threads). But you surely can use a different utility to download mail (say, fetchmail+procmail combo IMHO should work under Cygwin) to a place, where Gnus can read it. Maybe you should search the archives of this newsgroup for the answer, how to accompish it.
