No. :) Eh... "web server" is not the right word here and SMTPClient is
also the wrong class/protocol.

To *fetch* email you need to use POP3 and yes, google tells me that gmail
only offers POP3S - which is regular POP3 wrapped in SSL.

But you can wrap it outside of Squeak using stunnel. Run stunnel locally
listening on port xxx tunneling it to gmail:995. Then you use *POP3Client*
and connect to localhost on port xxx.

See for example: http://www.engelassociates.net/email.html
