@supports

CSS at-rule · 10 supported, 0 partial, 11 unsupported across 21 clients

10 of 21 email clients render @supports fully (Sep 2, 2026 data); it breaks outright in Gmail, Gmail Android, Gmail iOS and 8 more.

  • 3/7 webmail, 3/6 desktop, 4/8 mobile clients support @supports fully.
  • Unsupported in Gmail, Gmail Android, Gmail iOS, Outlook 365 and 7 more.
  • Outlook Classic (Word engine, supported to at least 2029) does not fully support @supports, and its replacement changes little here; see the deprecation diff.
