Try making it either:

background-image: url('./img/mail.png');
/* OR */
background-image: url('/img/mail.png');

/*Have you tried entering something like the code below?/

.contact-info li.mail a { background-image: url('../img/mail.png'); }

/* NOTE THAT YOU HAVE THE LETTER c FOLLOWING YOUR li.mail, WAS THIS A TYPO?/ /*This is a bit of code from my own site where I used the mail png./
