Assuming we have an SMTP interface and can send mail using "Email" actor. Is it possible to have a job to "listen" for receiving email on that interface?

My 2 cents... As far as I know, SMTP is used only for sending emails. For receiving email, a POP3 or IMAP interface would be required. I'm not sure if those are available in Fabric. Anyway, same can be achieved through automation APIs using, for instance, webhooks.

SMTP is a protocol for sending email. There is currently no builtin actor to retrieve emails mailbox. Indeed webhooks (web service) are an easier way to be notified on events. We can explore inbox integration as a future Broadway actor.
