Thank you Andrey.
I use default settings on Gmail--that's the problem mainly.

All you'd need to do (to be on safest possible side) is to issue
rebase-trigger full
then run a normal setup session to the end at least once, specifying your
existing Cygwin installation directory as the target.
If any issues would arise after that, please check

Well, for an installation that old it would probably be quite helpful if
you did a clean fresh install. A 32bit Windows can deal just fine with
4GB of memory (not so much with larger memory), you can make about 3GB
of that available to user processes with a boot option (at the expense
of memory reserved for the kernel space).

You can keep using a 32bit Cygwin on any Windows 64bit desktop version
in existence so far, they all come with the WoW64 subsystem that is
necessary to run 32bit Windows applications.

However, I'd still recommend you make the switch to a 64bit Cygwin if
you have the option.
Regards,
Achim.

3.65GB in my experience is the best you can manage with 32-bit Windows.

While you don't need to do it, you'll have to re-install Cygwin anyway,
and frankly, installing 32-bit Cygwin from scratch, on a 64-bit Windows
machine, just seems excessively nostalgic.
You're already removing so much cruft --- why let yourself be tied to
the past by sticking with 32-bit Cygwin?
> I mean it seems I'll be able to still use my 32 bit cygwin after I upgrade to 64 bit Windows 10,
Unlikely. You'll have to do a complete re-install to fix up all the
file permissions and regsitry entries.
