How can I archive gmail hosted emails on SharePoint Server

Question

I have my email hosted on gmail cloud server, and I am about to get SharePoint 2013. I would like to use SharePoint to archive my gmail email on-premise. Can you advise on what I should do?
Some suggested this:
the only option I can see is to create a document library with an "email" content type, put the fields you need there
2nd. Create a timer job that reads from GMAIL using their API
Basically your timer job will make web service/rest calls, and once it has the info on memory, then use the sharepoint server API, to create a list item on sharepoint
Seems pretty simple, all you need is to learn their api, info below
Is there any tutorial on how I can do this?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to archive emails on SharePoint Server.
We can create an Email List in SharePoint and create a Timer Job add the email data(from Gmail hosted) into the list.
The following articles for your reference:
