Generally, the problem with free services is that they don't charge for things that should cost money, and try to recoup their losses by charging for things that should be free (or charging a lot for something that should be cheap).

Gandi provides 5 free email accounts for domains registered through them, but the disk quota is pretty small by today's standards. If you want more space, there's an option to pay a monthly fee per GB. If you suspect that the middleman is charging you for a free service, first make sure whether you really have the free service. They might have set you up with extra disk space, which does incur a monthly fee.

Changing your nameservers or DNS will not be helpful unless you want to move to another email service. Even if you do, read the fine print to check whether you've put yourself under any contractual obligation to keep using Gandi's email service via the middleman.
