Images can't really be compressed while emails easily can. That Even if you reached 8GB of text that isn't how much storage you're taking up on their servers.

In addition, if you store more than 1 GB, chances are that a good fraction of that is photos emailed to multiple people, which they can store only one copy of while counting this storage against each person that leaves it on their account.
