Apple Mail

Limitations

Almost every email provider has its own way of adding a profile picture to an inbox.

This means you can only:

1. Add your avatar to a real inbox, limiting it only to that provider
2. Send mail from the same address that you set the avatar on

The way around this is BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification). It is much more difficult to obtain, but supports by nearly all providers and allows you to send from any address on that domain.
