Why do emails render differently in Microsoft Outlook?

You may have noticed that your vega emails look different in Microsoft Outlook than in other email clients, such as Gmail or Apple Mail. When it comes to rendering emails, every email client has a different approach based on its own unique standards. This article will provide information on email renders in Microsoft Outlook.

This means that vega email layouts that contain dynamic content will not render background images in Outlook 2016 or Outlook 2019, but will render correctly otherwise.

vega cannot influence the way that Microsoft Outlook or other email clients render HTML emails. In light of this, vega has a Test feature built into the email designer that allows you to see what your emails look like in Outlook and other email clients. While your emails may look fantastic in Gmail, they may sometimes appear irregular when in Outlook.

• Buttons
• Centre-aligned images
• Embedded fonts
• Padding/spacing
• Line height

Important: Microsoft no longer supports Outlook 2007. As such, vega does not guarantee that email templates and emails created in the email designer will render correctly in Microsoft Outlook 2007. In addition, due to how Microsoft Outlook currently renders emails, two-column layout email templates with an image and text will flip the layout of their renders when sent to clients hence vega and any other platform in the market provide a link to open the design in a browser.
