When receiving emails in Google's Inbox, usually you get as image a coloured circle with the first letter of the contact's mail.

But in rare occasions, there will be an image placeholder, like for instance the example I paste for YouTube. (I know YouTube is owned by Google, but I have seen many other examples)

Is it possible for me to make my own address to have its own image, when someone received an email in Inbox? If so, how?

In Short, this is because you likely don't have a Google+ page with a linked domain matching your email address.

The longer version: Link is here...

EDIT: Seems like this is not a popular answer...

Here's a fuller version: This Article seems to provide a good overall answer. I'll do a quick summary here.

As a takeaway:

  • Ensure your site is verified on Google+. This is done in Webmaster tools(link), and your webmaster must approve.
  • Ensure you have adequate email traffic (seems around 1k a week should do it).
  • When sending from a domain not matching Google+, you'll need to include a snippet of code in your email, and have Gmail approve the link.
  • Ensure that your email is authenticated against your domain and not your ESPs (or use the Featured Image markup).
