If you don't know who is sending the email, it could be spam, which is a pain, but more importantly, if you don't know who it is who sending it, don't open it! If you open a unfamiliar person's email, it could very well have a virus that could screw up your computer and fast. Viruses also can be downloaded to your computer if you have that preview option on your email window! So watch out!
The main risk of opening and receiving emails is that they can contain viruses, worms, and other malicious programs. you may also coolect a Trojan virus

Receiving email is done in the blink of an eye. The mail can be transferred to the Gmail servers. Then to the client receiving it.
Always put subject heading so that the person receiving the email can quickly see what the email is about.
SMTP
I would assume bandwidth and maintaining the servers to be the issues of risks involved.
