You will need to have the user who owns test@gmail.com to authenticate your application using gmail api and Oauth2.
Once you have an access token for that user you can then make a call ot the user info endpoint
https://openidconnect.googleapis.com/v1/userinfo?access_token={token}
This will return the Google profile information for that user and it will give you their internal google user id.
note
There is no way to get a Google user id for a user who has not authenticated your application. You have to have someones permission for this kind of thing.
