This is a harmless warning, which sometimes occurs.  (I don't know when 
or why.  It comes from atk.  You can apparently suppress it with "export 
NO_AT_BRIDGE=1".  See

This is not specific to Cygwin.  If it belongs anywhere, it should be in 
the emacs manual.  I just looked at the section "Emacs speaks SMTP" in 
the smtpmail documentation, and the instructions look pretty clear to 
me.  What happens if you follow those instructions, replacing 
"mail.example.org" with "smtp.gmail.com"?  If there's anything 
Cygwin-specific that goes wrong, then I'll try to fix it or add 
something to /usr/share/doc/emacs/README.Cygwin, whatever is appropriate.
