Documentation for packages come with the packages. If you haven't installed a package, you won't find that you have any documentation for that package. Probably the most obvious way to determine what mail packages Cygwin has is to run 'setup.exe' and open the 'Mail' category. There will be a list of a number of packages that have something to do with mail. 'email' or 'mutt' are probably the closest offerings of (your) interest, though feel free to install and/or investigate everything in that category. Once you install any of these packages, you should have man and/or info pages as well as any Cygwin specific setup/configuration documentation in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ <package> for each package you install. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
