Even the 15 GB is given divided for Gmail, Google Drive , and photos data, by considering the average size of an email, it can say there would be thousands of email storage capacity for your Gmail . Look at the picture showing my total emails. Around 3733 emails , some are small in size but few are with attachment so large in size (less than 25 MB the maximum alloyed size of a Gmail's email) . But the point is that even with thousands accumulated emails , my account still showing up it used just 0.5% (0.76 GB of 15 GB) free online storage.
