I'd recommend to use "c:/cygwin/home/afabian/spool", but I guess this
is unrelated to your problem.

nnmaildir works with hard links, so I'd guess it's not suitable for
Windows.  (AFAIK, you can create hard links on NTFS, but I guess
there's not (X)Emacs interface for it.)

You could try to edebug the function `nnmail-get-new-mail' in
`nnmail.el' to see what goes wrong.  See (info
"(gnus)Troubleshooting").
