I have that set up myself for several addresses; all it does is send email through a given email address' SMTP servers. It does NOT retrieve emails for you. Specifically, this prevents Gmail from adding the SMTP headers to signify "On Behalf of" on the receiver's view of your email.
Gmail provides retrieval through a separate feature, although I think it kind of sucks due to a time delay (instant gratification and all that...) so I use the "ghetto" method of forwarding too.
