I am building an HTML email campaign using Mailchimp and my own HTML. I have heard that to build a successful HTML email you must focus on using tables, and use inline CSS. I have removed all padding from my styles and added in 0 measure to margin, padding, border and outline tags. Any suggestions guys? Really stuck with this.
<body style="background:blue; margin:0; padding:0; border:0; outline:0;">
<div id="wrap" style="background:green; width:100%;">
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td style="
width:100%; margin:0; padding:0; border:0; outline:0;
height:100px;
background:#4b86fc;
background-size:60px 60px;
">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="500" align="center">
<tr>
<td style="
padding:20px 0px 25px 0px;
color:#000; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-weight:100; font-size:12px;">
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>
<p>Many Thanks,
Liam</p></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100%">

<ul style="list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0;">

This has the background set as white (#FFFFFF) so that if someone forwards it, they will be writing on white. You can change this to whatever, just keep in mind nobody wants to type on a dark color. The inner table (on the same line as the <body> tag) controls color of the html area background color (#252525). The content table is your center floated panel.

You can apply 100% width for table in html email
Also consider these things :
1 - Must include <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=UTF-8" /> in <head>.
2 - Apply mso-line-height-rule: exactly; at the <body>.
Like, <body mso-line-height-rule:exactly;>
3 - Please avoid <ul> & <li> tags, you can use <p> or any other supporting tags. Use • for bullet.
4 - Use <table> instead of <div>
5 - Use <b> instead of <strong>.
6 - Use nested tables, rather than rowspan or colspan.
