Iam tying to create an newsletter, but in outlook mobile it does not pick up the correct styling. The styling which is not picked up is as follow: bold text, color of text and uppercase
Here a link to the output
The titles like Folio .... needs to be blue and bold.
thereby the text in buttons needs to be white and bold.
And the text in de full width button has to be uppercased and white
here is the html of an element with the image left text right:
<!-- // Begin Module: [Dark] Image left text right \\ -->

outlook does not support all css please go have a look at https://www.campaignmonitor.com/css/
outlook versions just as ie have different css to consider so you would need something like this to cater for all the options

The columns are probably just-so-slightly larger than 300 each since you have not zeroed every <table> (e.g. <table role="presentation" class="col">)
Ensure every table has minimally the following: <table role="presentation" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
I have made an html template that works almost perfectly except images suddenly do not appear in outlook online.
The appear to be reduced to a 1px width and height.
I have set the widths in the inline styles, but not the heights as I would like the client to have the flexibility of an auto height. The problem also occurs even when I have set a width and height.
This works fine except for outlook and I cannot work out why.
here is the code from on of the sections, though this happens to every image in the template.
I have checked that images are not turned off in my email settings

I am trying to create a responsive HTML email. The two columns should be equal height and they currently stack on mobile. Everything works properly until there is a lot of text as the Billing Information or Shipping Information. It's an unlikely case that the text will ever look like this, but I must handle all possibilities without the email breaking. How can I make my td stretch vertically instead of horizontally? I cannot use a fixed width as it will break the responsiveness of my table.

Found the answer in post: HTML CSS How to stop a table cell from expanding
Using style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" on the <td> solved my problem. It is compatible across Gmail, Apple Mail, Yahoo, latest Outlook.
I currently have this layout for a HTML email I am creating:
I am trying to move the text so that it starts from the start of the image (essentially, move the text up) and then, create a gap of around 10px between the text and the red download button.
The issue is I'm struggling to address this using tables which are essential for HTML emails.
This is what I have so far:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="600" bgcolor="#0066cb">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td height="240" width="15"><!-- PADDING (CREATING AREA) --></td>
<td>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td height="10"><!-- PADDING --></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<!-- IMAGE -->
<img src="images/unnamed (4).png"height="250" style="display:block;" border="0" />
</td>
<td style="font-family:Arial;font-size:27px;line-height:35px;color:#ffffff;">
eguide title lorum ipsum <br>
dolor sit amet labore et
<img src="images/unnamed (5).png" alt="test" style="display:block;" border="0" />
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/7bzgpd02/
Added this code to your inline style on the table field containing the "eguide" text (tables usually default to vertically centered until directed otherwise):
vertical-align: top;
See the below example, it now works:
* {
border: 1px solid red;
}
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="600" bgcolor="#0066cb">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td height="240" width="15"><!-- PADDING (CREATING AREA) --></td>
<td>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td height="10"><!-- PADDING --></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<!-- IMAGE -->
<img src="http://placehold.it/100x100" alt="Xenith" height="250" style="display:block;" border="0" />
</td>
<td style="font-family:Arial;font-size:27px;line-height:35px;color:#ffffff; vertical-align: top;">eguide title lorum ipsum <br>
dolor sit amet labore et
<img src="images/unnamed (5).png" alt="test" style="display:block;" border="0" />
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

How can I align these tables to centered when it hits mobile?
I need to do this without media queries to support the Gmail mobile app.
The HTML code is from an actionrocket codepen, but i don't know what will make the tables centered on mobile with breaking the desktop view

You'll struggle to do this for Gmail. Because the containing tables for each column are aligned left you cannot override them to certain. Your best alternative is to force the desktop view for Gmail users or creating the email with Gmail & Outlook in mind and then use CSS with media queries to allow for iOS users.
Modules with new design
Don't use tables for design
I do not think you should use tables for design, see Why not use tables for layout in HTML? If you are going to use tables, you should use the CSS properties, such as:
display: table;
display: table-cell;
display: table-column;
display: table-column-group;
display: table-footer-group;
display: table-header-group;
display: table-row;
display: table-row-group;
MDN css display
Don't use inline styles
Also I see you are using inline CSS styling. See What's so bad about in-line CSS? Simply, maintaining your code gets really hard and frustrating.
Module solution
I used css-stylesheets (handy thing). In my opinion I have not used any hard to understand css-properties. Positioning is done with text-align center. (inline elements get position centered). Added padding and margin to make thins have a little more space. Used box-sizing: border-box; to maintain size even if I add padding.
width 100px + padding-top: 20px would normally be a size of 120px; with box-sizing you maintain the 100px.
How is this even mobile friendly?
Ah, glad you asked. I use an inline-block element on the module wrapper.
Actually I called the section class for .module. With the inline-block display property the elements wrap. So if there is a lot of width on the page the modules will be displayed next to one another. If there is little they will be displayed under one another.
.module {
display: inline-block;
background-color: #ddd;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
padding-top: 30px;
box-sizing: border-box;
font-family: arial;
text-align: center;
margin: 5px;
}
.module img {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 100px;
}
.module h1 {
font-weight: normal;
}
.invers {
border: none;
background-color: #aaa;
padding: 10px 20px;
font-size: 1em;
color: white;
cursor: pointer;
}
