I'm using latest Git Gnus on Emacs 24 on Windows.

When we changed our mail server to Dovecot, I've had hard times finding out
why the connection couldn't be established on port 993 (with starttls, I
think).

Ultimately, I've found out that disabling the package `cygwin-mount' was then
working. With that package enabled, connections failed. No idea why it
conflicts with Gnus!

Best regards,
  Seb
