CarPlay Mail

I know this has been answered but I can't find it. How to get Mail as a CarPlay icon. After a year of not using it I decide to turn CarPlay on. I have message and WhatsApp but no mail. Help please

Oh I didn't have it on before because it would eventually go away and Bluetooth allowed me access to my Plex server and all it's misic

Since no one responded, guess I have no one to thank except BMW Genius. Despite seeing screen shots on this forums with a "mail" icon, the genius people say that email isn't part of Apple CarPlay. Guess I can stop searching.

I did get a answer to using Samsung SmartThings, I ended up figuring it out with him on the phone. It took a anger call from my son about his bedroom lamp that tipped it off.

It never has been part of CarPlay.
