Are you using gmail?

Yes.

I'm using the Gmail program, with a Gmail account, a Hotmail account, and a Yahoo account.

Bob , the icon on the start screen is just that , an Icon ,an icon cannot change from closed to open , its a fixed icon (a picture) perhaps different versions of gmail or even countries or the OS version use either a closed or an open envelope


the photo (picture) could even be using "poetic licence" to entice people to buy the product

I use the standard android email app, I use it for lots of different providers. Whilst on holiday I tried to send an email with it from a Gmail address and it said my app was not secure enough to send the email and to use the Gmail app.

So the android email app made by google is insecure but the gmail one made by the same people is not?

Google stopped work on the standard email app when Lollipop was released. They do not support it any more. You can use the Gmail app to see email in other email accounts besides Gmail ones now the Email app is unreported by Google.

There are many third party email apps for Android as well.
