         Font-Names="Letter Gothic Std" ForeColor="#0099FF"></asp:Label>
 </td>
 </tr>
 </table>

So, how to receive the messages send by the user in mymail@gmail.com

PS:This is just a dummy project, so is it possible without hosting the website? Thank you :)

PPS: And yes if it is possible, if i am able to get the messages in my gmail account then is it necessary to store their data in the database through this form?

With the following code you will be able to send email to a specific user,if you want to Send it through Front End request, it will be slightly different but logic will be the same

 using System;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using System.Linq;
 using System.Net;
 using System.Web;
 using System.Web.UI;
 using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

 namespace SendEmail
 {

   public partial class SendEmail : System.Web.UI.Page
  {
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      SendMail();
    }

    protected void SendMail()
    {

    var fromAddress = "";
    var toAddress = "";
    //Password of your gmail address
    const string fromPassword = "";
    string subject = "";
    string body = "";

    // smtp settings
    var smtp = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
    {
        smtp.Host = "smtp.gmail.com"";
        smtp.Port = 587;
        smtp.EnableSsl = false;
        smtp.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
        smtp.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(fromAddress, fromPassword);
        smtp.Timeout = 20000;
    }
    // Passing values to smtp object
    smtp.Send(fromAddress, toAddress, subject, body);
   }
  }  
 }
