The warning message is meant for you, not VM!  VM won't know what to do with
it.  You should create a CYGWIN environment variable with nodosfilewarning
as its value, and get rid of the warning message.

Windows Emacs will necessarily use Windows path names, which Cygwin doesn't
like.  But they gave you a work-around.  So, please use it.

I don't know why it is working for gmail.  But it is likely that it is
breaking in some more subtle ways.  VM is trying to listen to the server and
the warning message is interfering with it.
