Yes, the error shows when emacs is started with -Q. Here it is:

$ emacs-x11 -Q
** (emacs-x11:32728): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. 
Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, 
the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, 
or the network connection was broken.

Indeed. I see many changes compared to emacs-21. Not only is
smtpmail-auth-credentials obsolete. smtpmail-starttls-credentials
is obsolete too. Yes, this part of my .emacs code will have to be
rewritten.

A suggestion to Emacs/Cygwin maintainers/developers: please, give
us an example of a working up-to-date .emacs code for making emacs 
send e-mail through Google. It's a popular way of doing it nowadays.

Greetings to all,
