Google's terms of service say that each user retains the copyright to their content, but grants to Google a license so that Google can provide services.
If Google has the only copy of some of this content, I wonder if a copyright claim might have any leverage. It's one thing to give Google a license; it seems like quite another for Google to deny you access to your own copyrighted material.

That route would only get you copies of your email. It wouldn't help you change a password on a 3rd party service, if their practice was to require confirmation through your address on record.
