'Can I email...' is a site that summarizes the functions that can be used in HTML email for each email client in a format that can be seen at a glance.

There are many email client apps out there, but the HTML email features they support vary from app to app. With 'Can I email...', when you're creating an HTML email and you wonder 'Can I use this feature...?', you can see at a glance how many email client apps out there support the feature.

Can I email… Support tables for HTML and CSS in emails

https://www.caniemail.com/

When you visit the site and enter the feature you want to use in the central input field, the support status for each email client will be displayed at the bottom. Green means 'supported,' yellow means 'partially supported,' and red means 'not supported.' If the same client has different support depending on the version, 'from which version it became available' will be displayed. In addition, a gauge is displayed in the upper right corner that allows you to see at a glance the support rate for the current version of all listed clients. For example, the results of checking the support status for 'WebP image display' are as follows.

If the feature is 'partially supported' and is displayed in yellow, it will be annotated. By hovering your cursor over it or looking at the bottom, you can see which parts are supported and which parts are not.

You can also select the client you want to display by clicking 'Settings' on the right side of the search field. At the time of writing, the options were 'Apple Mail', 'Gmail', 'Outlook', 'Yahoo! Mail', 'AOL', 'Samsung Email', 'Mozilla Thunderbird', 'ProtonMail', 'Fastmail', 'HEY', 'Orange', 'LaPoste.net', 'SFR', 'GMX', '1&1', 'Mail.ru', 'WEB.DE', and 'WP.pl'.

There is also

a scoreboard . Apple Mail is said to have the most features.

Click 'Compare email clients' on the top right to compare the differences between specific clients. This time, we will compare 'Apple Mail' and 'Gmail'.

Features that were supported by both clients were marked as 'Supported.'

Features with mixed support are displayed in the 'Mixed support' column, so you can see at a glance which clients support each feature.

Features that were not supported by any of the clients were listed in the 'Not supported' column.

If you want to check the compatibility of each browser with HTML for regular web pages rather than HTML email, there is a useful site called '

Can I use... ' which has similar functionality.
