As a curiosity, what is "a decent amount"? $5/mo? $10/mo? More?

I would probably pay $200-$300/year, so maybe $15-25/month if this hypothetical service could completely match gmail in features.

I'd be really curious to see what Google makes off the advertisements served up in Gmail, compared to this price.
