Please have a look into this thread:

Images from Google profile are refreshed once every 24 hours. To "force", bring up "Account setup" for an account.

Message list images are taken from your Contacts.

Google will not update your photo in your Contacts when you update your Google Profile. Please do this yourself.

Hi Tom,
I can confirm.  Unfortunately, I still see my old avatar picture in AquaMail (screenshot #1) which I have changed in Google four months ago (screenshot #2).

Please update the image in your Google+ profile (I believe Gmail web also has its own photo, but it's not always in sync with G+).

AquaMail fetches profile images from G+, believe that's the only supported / official API (source, function).

---

After updating your G+ profile, long press the account in Aqua -> Account setup -> Next, Save and next time you check mail in this account, Aqua will request your image from Google again.

Um, sorry, missed this part the first time.

The photo in the message list comes from your phone's Contacts app.

How it gets there?

Android does it "automagically". Please check your phone's Contacts app, or better yet, search for your own email here:

https://www.google.com/contacts

@mikeone:

I never heard about "aboutme.google.com", so used this instead:
