Has anyone run into issues for HTML email development (mailchimp) where the email won't fully render in portrait mode of iphone (10.3.2)?

It renders OK on my phone, but not our tester's or client's phone (same version).
It will briefly display and then get cut off, or if you switch to landscape mode it's viewable.
I ran into this issue a few months ago and the same litmus forum helped me answer my question.
A basic breakdown from the forum is:
If you have configured email id of Outlook or Live with outlook.com or live.com domain (xyz#outlook.com or xyz#live.com), then in the Outlook App will render with the desktop in new app.
And If you have configured email id of other email clients other than outlook.com or live.com domains (xyz#gmail.com or xyz#yahoo.com or #xyz.com, etc...), then it will render with responsive layout.

Now i am not sure but i would say both of you are using similar/identical version of iOS app but different email addresses for testing.
Hope this is what you were after.

I am having an issue with Mailchimp and Gmail for IOS client.
When I send a custom email template (cerberus-responsive) using Mailchimp the email arrives distorted in the Gmail for IOS client. If I send the same template through an email service like Putsmail, it arrives in Gmail for IOS just fine. I get similar results when I send the template to Litmus for testing. It looks fine in every client except Gmail for IOS. If I reply or forward, the problem seems to go away.
I have been removing sections of the code (two column, three column, background) to see what section is causing the issue, but so far I get the exact same results. I do not know a creative way to get the code unmodied from Gmail.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior or have a solution? I think it is something that Mailchimp is doing to the code. I contacted Mailchimp support, but they offer no support of custom templates and directed me to a troubleshooting document on the limitations of HTML Email.

This is a very general question regarding Apple Mail. An HTML signature is to be created for this. That worked so far. Now the customer wants a web font. As far as I know, I cannot integrate these using an inline CSS. On the other hand, I can't write a head tag in the signature either.
Is there a way to embed a web font in Apple Mail or is it not?
Web fonts work the same way in web and emails. You declare it using #font-face. The support for web fonts however is limited in emails.
The following email clients have suport for web fonts:
iOS Mail
Apple Mail
Android (default mail client, not Gmail app)
Outlook 2000
Outlook.com app
Thunderbird
All other email clients will resort to fall back fonts or the fonts coded into email clients will/might* show:
Apple Mail = Helvetica
Gmail = Arial
Microsoft Outlook* = Calibri
Hope that answers your question.

I have a trouble with email template rendering in gmail account i.e I used background images in email template that are working fine on first render and forwarding too, but when i reply of the same email then background images gone, I could not sort out why this happening either a gmail limitations or something else. Sharing snaps to more clear my problem.
How can I read & render the email inbox of an email account (IMAP or of iOS Mail app) in my iOS app?
I want to list the current email subjects & time of receipt.
I want to access an IMAP account or even better the email in the iOS Mail
app.
I know MFMailComposeViewController, but this only creates emails. I have read on libetpan and etPanKit here.
Is there a library / example code / open source project doing that or something similar? Including the rendering of an inbox, some settings (account name, password, ...) in a settings bundle, etc.
I see quite some complexity and it would be great to not re-invent the wheel on that.
It is not possible to gain access to the the iOS Mail App data.
You'll have to access the mail server directly using something like Mailcore.
Iphone sdk : how to send an email in background from an iphone app.
Based on certain selections made by the user I want to trigger an event to send an email to an admin.
I am aware of the MFMailComposeViewController but this will open the mail composer window which I want to skip.
You will need to use a third party library for that. The SDK doesn't allow you to send emails in the background.
Here's one you can use:

This is an old question, but for anyone coming across it still you can take a look at this post. The accepted answer shows how to send the email in a background using a smtp server. It also includes an image that will "dim" the screen as the email is sent and "brighten" back up after the email is sent. Take a look at the screen shot to see what I mean.
