Open the Email app, and configure an account with it. Then you will be able to send email intents.

Configure your Emulator with "Google API" rather than just choose "Android"

You need to enable "Allow less secure apps: ON" in Sign-in & security settings in your gmail account before you use gmail account for Standard Email client in Android Emulator

Using normal Gmail account from browser or Gmail app, from settings enable "install insecure applications" and the go to tab "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" and set "IMAP access enabled" then on theAVD use an IMAP account on the virtual device with your usual login and password but don't forget that when that fails to set the server to m.google.com. Worked for me.
