Troubleshooting a problem with media queries causing display:none issues

Check out this HTML email template code we've been testing on various email clients including Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, Rediffmail, iPhone, and iPad.

The template consists of two table blocks - one for web browsers and the other for mobile devices like iPhone and iPad.

However, when using this code, Gmail displays both blocks, while Yahoo and Outlook show only the mobile block. On iPhone and iPad, only the mobile block is visible.

The @media queries seem to be malfunctioning in this scenario.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Answer №1

Media queries are not compatible with Gmail. The use of the <style> tag is also unsupported, which is why inline CSS is recommended for designing HTML emails.
