how do i use my tmobile email 

Hey there. Email to text is specifically for low traffic, person-to-person messages. There are strict spam filters so messages coming from emails that include info, admin, alert, auto, and other words indicating automated messages will not go through. The way that it is designed to work is you can create an email using your personal email account and in the to field put in yournumber@tmomail.net. Keep the message short since the file size limit is also pretty low. When you send, you will see the message on your phone as a text message. 

Hope this helps!

@HeavenM honestly, this isn't very helpful.  Something is wrong but can't tell if it's T Mobile or Google.  I sent a test email from my work email to my tmomail and it went through.  But my original test from my Gmail to my tmomail never came through.

Hmm. It is odd that the work email was successful, but the Gmail didn't show up. Did you get any kind of send or delivery failure message back to your Gmail? Are you using the same email address that you used to register for this Community or a different email? Was the email sent out as plain HTML? Were any words from my list that you quoted within the email? How long was the message that you tried to send?
