    Hi,

    I have a responsive HTML page which is generated by Razor and sent to multiple clients. The email received by clients are able to review responsiveness of the email except in outlook. Email in outlook is stick to the single template regardless of screen size changed. I have written number of media queries as well but it is still non-responsive.

    I tried '<!--[if ((gte mso 9)|(IE))]>' lines as well but the layout is still not responsive. Only thing I could achieve is, having a different layout for both Mail & Outlook apps.

    I want to know that responsive media queries are supported or not in Outlook & Mail apps. If not, how would I get a responsive HTML layout.

    Since Outlook 2007 onwards uses Word instead of IE to render HTML email contents, the adaptation of modern HTML is relatively slow.

    And considering lots of coporate Outlook users are still using Outlook 2007/2010 (the machine I'm using still using Outlook 2007), I would say it's really difficult.

    I think it would be better to just keep a seperate layout for Outlook if you can. On a previous company the approach is to just use an Outlook compatable layout (do not use div tag as large number of CSS properties don't have effect on them, use table based layout as they'll render the same across browsers and email clients, etc.) .

    Hi gayan,

    Thank you for posting here.

    Based on your description, this doesn't seem to be a C # issue. So we will move it to Where is the Forum For…? forum to redirect it to the correct forum.

    The Visual C# forum discusses and asks questions about the C# programming language, IDE, libraries, samples, and tools.

    Best Regards,

    Timon
