100% table width for html email

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%">
<tr>
  <td style="
      width:100%; margin:0; padding:0; border:0; outline:0;
      background-color:#ebebeb;
      background:#ebebeb;
      border-top:1px solid #c3c3c3;
      font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
      font-weight:100; font-size:11px;
      text-align:center;">
        <ul style="list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0;">
        <li style="display:inline; padding:0 8px 0 0;"><a href="" style="text-decoration: none;     color:#545454;">Homepage</a></li>
        <li style="display:inline; padding:0 8px 0 0;"><a href="" style="text-decoration: none;     color:#545454;">Twitter</a></li>
        <li style="display:inline; padding:0 8px 0 0;"><a href="" style="text-decoration: none;     color:#545454;">Dribbble</a></li>
        <li style="display:inline; padding:0 0 0 8px;"><a href="" style="text-decoration: none;     color:#545454;">Facebook</a></li>
</ul>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

</div>

</body>

This will get you started:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><title></title>
  <style type="text/css">
    #outlook a {padding:0;}
    body{width:100% !important; -webkit-text-size-adjust:100%; -ms-text-size-adjust:100%; margin:0; padding:0;} /* force default font sizes */
    .ExternalClass {width:100%;} .ExternalClass, .ExternalClass p, .ExternalClass span, .ExternalClass font, .ExternalClass td, .ExternalClass div {line-height: 100%;} /* Hotmail */
    a:active, a:visited, a[href^="tel"], a[href^="sms"] { text-decoration: none; color: #000001 !important; pointer-events: auto; cursor: default;}
    table td {border-collapse: collapse;}
  </style>
</head>
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: #FFFFFF;" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><table bgcolor="#252525" width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><table width="600" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding-top:30px; padding-bottom:30px;">

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

     content
    </td>
  </tr>

</td></tr></table></td></tr></table></body></html>

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.

Have you had a look at html email boilerplate

Excellent template for... HTML Email!

I know this is not a direct answer to the problem, but I can't post comments yet, sorry.

By default, most browsers add margin to the BODY tag. Therefore you need

<body style="background:blue;margin:0">

to get rid of that margin.

Have you tried putting

margin:0;

in the body style tag?
