Image links broken in Gmail because of google’s Image proxy

Image links in gmail are broken because of google’s Image proxy (news1,news2). I can’t load my site’s images in gmail.

Actual image path is: http://sampleimageurl.com/images/logo.jpg

But I get the same image path like this in gmail:

https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/CUiMBo2ELdin8h5R_jKaarbsjQOZUXM3765smBK1PB4BsKq9EsVziwcOYFqjZqCkRDyu1jzoityEA_PJ=s0-d-e1-ft#http://sampleimageurl.com/images/logo.jpg

Does anyone knows how to solve this issue?

Answer

Because your image wasn’t open to public.

You need make sure the new Gmail image proxy can fetch your image from google server.
