I suppose the following screenshot is the normal thing.

But when I start my mail app, the Gmail option is not available. My lower left corner is blank.

Not exactly sure what's could be wrong with yours but mine worked fine. Have you restarted it? Given its only early in the beta stage, it has tons of little weird problems where it works & it doesn't. I had to restart my laptop just to get it to show my inbox for Gmail (it's pretty useless). Don't think it's your fault or something you could easily fix. Usually the only advice for beta is "have you tried turning it on and off again?"

Besides the mail app is only 'neat' for tablets because on desktop it uses more than less than half the screen for the actual emails having you to scroll sideways just to view them properly... IMHO, just you Gmail through the browser.
