But don't choose Gmail as your webmail provider?

I am not an expert in this.

But I think if you get a Gmail account with non identifiable information. Then access Gmail through Tor (There's a Tor plugin for Firefox) you've done enough to make it extremely hard to track you down.

You'd better make sure you do that from a 'virgin' machine then or your cookies or other signature information will give you away in a heartbeat.

Or my favourite: a virtual machine with a snapshot of it's state just after the install of all your necessary programs, HDD set to read only (like you can do in parallels) and used from there...
