Yes, it's the Windows user notation (domain\username).

Run: cygrunsrv -VQ fetchmail

What is in "Environment" ? is it "/home/ppbraun" or something else?

When Windows is shut down all services are sent a TERM signal (it's in 
the documentation), you can change the signal if needed.

When Windows is put into hibernation nothing is sent, your service is 
unaware of what happened or, more interesting, the time leap afterwards.
