On sending html email in outlook, the table border renders as very thin when compared to browser
We are using the below line of code in html
<table style="float:left;border:30px solid #d4e9e2;"><tbody><tr><td>

but the border got rendered with very small thickness, even if the value of border is increased from 30px to 50/60.
How can I increase the border so that it should look same as in browser.

    Hi @Manju Madhusoodhanannair(UST,IN) ,

    Welcome to our forum!

    Do you want to increase the table border in Outlook desktop client?

    If so, as I know, we can select the whole table>right click it and click Table Properties>Borders and Sharing…>in Borders tab, adjust parameters in the Width drop-down box.

    Testing within WordHTML, it appears you can only specify a border for a table up to 7px.

    Also note that a float isn't supported at all.

    Additionally see; Word 2007 HTML and CSS Rendering Capabilities in Outlook 2007 (Part 1 of 2)
    It's old, but (sadly) still applies for the most part.
