Hmmm ... sounds like you've discovered the perfect free lunch Sam.
You might want to familiarize yourself with a fellow writer -- Robert
Heinlein. TANSTAAFL (The Moon is a Harsh Mistress).
Be aware that your gigs of Gmail is subject to general purpose data
mining and/or any other use they deem lucrative upon a simple
unilateral change in their terms of service. By using the service,
you've already agreed to be bound by any changes they make.
Caveat to any wannabe 'Deep Throats' -- search out Bernstein or
Woodard if you have any juicy tidbits and want confidentiality -- they
at least have a track record. I fear Sam is clueless when it comes to
guarding sensitive information. Grok it Sam? (Stranger in a Strange
Land).
