To receive Bitcoin, you don't need a Gmail address or any sort of email address.

What you need is a large random looking number called a Bitcoin-address. This number can be produced from another large number that is kept secret by you and is called a private-key. You can create these numbers using any of many different software programs called [Bitcoin wallets](https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet).
