In yahoomail and html email, the images are loading but not in gmail. I observed that in gmail, the image urls are altered.

For example,

Image URL in yahoo/Hotmail : http://qaecmwcs.qacorp.moneygram.com/sites/Satellite?blobcol=urldata&blobkey=id&blobnocache=true&blobtable=MungoBlobs&blobwhere=1515690635784&ssbinary=true

Url for the same image in Gmail : https://ci5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/2B2Fyk0aboH-eiikaxVWdIC9DXbJzhZEuWKm5yPwUeXf3SdYRuoKBGT-HeCFRlNcg7VTzljtSsEhHkikFMGPac35C6Az2Fc2wsdig3xj0S3g1bEIABaMx9RKnTjYuqagP1hUGNl3GG4f2aHy26wHrINZkdn5Wv3y6zcvbWHUL8rabUcjHuCO05i8RM31x8iFJmUorccqIJM6P9f6-eLIaQ5GpZYCrKPJws72HfM2-AsXcg=s0-d-e1-ft#http://qaecmwcs.qacorp.moneygram.com/sites/Satellite?blobcol=urldata&blobkey=id&blobnocache=true&blobtable=MungoBlobs&blobwhere=1515690635784&ssbinary=true

When I manually remove the additional url part in the image src,from DevTools then I am able to see the image. Can any one please let me know how I can handle this in gmail?

If you want an image to work in email, it has to be viewable by your audience. The image path should be straightforward and simple. What you have posted over and over in your questions are images that are not accessible to the general public, so they will never work for an email.

Image Path

This is how an image should be formatted:

<img src="staticpath" alt="imagename" class="imageclass" />
<img src="https://www.w3schools.com/images/w3schools_green.jpg" width="104" height="142" alt="W3Schools.com">
<img src="https://placehold.it/600x600" height="600" width="600" />

More information:

Image Descriptors

As a best practice, an image path should end in a descriptor that defines what the format of the image. Images that work well with emails include .jpg .png .gif.

More Information:

Email Templates

Your email templates should follow the basic practices of a well-formatted html page. Email development is not Web development because email clients do not support current html 5 or css 3 standards. So it can be very hit and miss to create a complex email.

The following email templates will give you a good idea how an email should be created, how images should look, how image classes work.

Good luck with your images.

The firewall was blocking the images from displaying. When client opened the firewall then the images within the server are loaded.
