when u log in with a user name and password, the mail client(gmail)(mail server) contacts the IMAP server through a port(imap is 143 i guess)and you can view your mails on the server(the mails that were sent to u sit in a queue on this server) itself or bring a copy to your local machine.SMTP server is only in play when a mail is sent(outgoing).
