2.24.18. Setting an avatar in email services

The article presents examples of setting up avatars for recipients using the mail services Gmail and Mail.Ru. Methods for displaying an avatar in other mail services need to be clarified directly in the support of these mail services.

For example, if you create a domain mail in the Google mail service, set an avatar in its settings and send a letter to the mailbox in the Yandex mail service, then it will not be displayed, since the necessary settings have not been made on the side of Yandex services.

1. Open the Gmail registration page located at accounts.google.com/signupwithoutgmail.
2. Fill out the registration form and click "Further»:

   • «E-mail address"- specify mailbox, created on the hosting, for which you want to install an avatar.
