Well, SMTP is used for sending mails and not for receiving.

For receiving mails, Gmail has to be either POP3 or IMAP compliant,
which it is not as of date. They are however working on it and promise
to give users this feature either for free or for a small fee.

As of now, your possibilities are:
1) POP Goes The Gmail ( http://jaybe.org/downloads.htm )
2) Gpopmail ( http://membres.lycos.fr/gpopmail/ )

both of which requires .NET version 1.1

3) Freepops (Sorry, U'll have to google for this as I don't have the
link)

Alternatively, Abiel is working on GmailerXP which promises to be
everything Gmail can do and more. Check this out on
http://gmailerxp.sourceforge.net/news.html . Its still in development,
so expect it to buggy. You could still use it to send mails and do a
lot of basic stuff now.

Hope that was helpful.
Cheers
