Table's border-right doesn't show in email template when viewed in Outlook

I have gone through a lot of threads, but I couldn't find something helpful. If that's a duplicate please point me to the relevant thread.

We have created a custom RSS feed for one of our websites in order to achieve the design we wanted for the template. I have managed to make it look good almost everywhere expect Outlook, which is a pain!

The main problem I'm facing is that I cannot show the right border in one of my boxes. Please refer to the attached screenshot. enter image description here

Here's my HTML. I have also tried by using percentages for the widths, but didn't work either.

<table width="525" height="250" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#fafafa" class="main-content"  style="border:1px solid #ccc;">
    <tr>
        <td width="50"><!-- --></td>
        <td width="284" align="left" valign="middle"><img src="'.site_url().'/wp-content/uploads/'.$image.'" width="274" height="196" mc:edit="Box_image_2" mc:allowdesigner alt=""  /></td>
        <td width="20"><!-- --></td>
        <td width="280" valign="top" >
            <table width="220" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                <tr>
                    <td  height="15"><!-- --></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td align="left" class="body-text-bold" style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;" mc:edit="body_bold_text" mc:allowdesigner="mc:allowdesigner" ><strong>'.$deal['post_title'].'</strong></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td  height="16"><!-- --></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td><!-- Red Box Start -->
                        <div class="red-box" style="background:#e9e9e9;border:1px solid #ccc;">
                            <table border="0" align="center"  cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>
        <td width="0"><!-- --></td>
    </tr>
</table>

In case this helps: I send the email through MailChimp using FEED tag.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Simply,you can't divide images vertically , if you then it will show 1px space--divide images horizontaly and try it. It will be solved

I think this issue is being caused by the widths of your table cells. Try setting the width twice for each table cell like this:

<td width="10" style="width:10px;">

Also add the following embedded styles:

table td {border-collapse: collapse;}
table { border-collapse:collapse; mso-table-lspace:0pt; mso-table-rspace:0pt; }

Tip: You might want to specify what version of Outlook is causing problems. Outlook 2007/2010/2013 react totally different to the same styling than Outlook 2003/2011 for example.
