Access Gmail with net/imap possibly? 
:http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/imap/rdoc/index.html, or use 
Gmails pop3 support - there's an example here
http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/4617 .

Or, if it's 'always on', you could run a XMPP/Jabber server on your 
machine and receive/process instant messages.

Hope that helps,
