Hi marioi ,
Yes, use only bgcolor and avoid gradient style.
Generally, Outlook on Windows does not support many styles.If you can, avoid styles and you are safe 🙂
This is our Table bgcolor snippet we use when helping clients with email signatures templates:

Jesper_FrierHi Jesper, thank for replying and apologies for my late response.
Just making sure with this also... would using the "gradient" (inline CSS) statement on the table also not work, instead of using bgcolor?
Say something like this
<table style="background-image: linear-gradient(to right, red , yellow);">

Jesper_Frier Thanks. I would have used a simple bgcolor, but unfortunately the color gradient is part of the branding.
I'll have to rethink the design. Thanks for your responses. Much appreciated.
PS: Tell Mr Gates to stop being so a**l with outlook LOL.

I believe you may be able to do a gradient with VML code possibly. Worth Googling. marioi
Here's a starter example https://backgrounds.cm/
