Two Column Responsive Layout Breaking in Outlook
I have been using adaptive versions of HTML templates for a while, but now want to do a proper responsive one. I recently became a member of Litmus and while perusing the resources available, I found a primer by Kevin Mandeville (great btw). I followed the example on the code, which works beautifully, except on Outlook of course. In the past, I have been hacking it to work on Outlook by reducing the size/precentage on the tables, but that of course screws up the look for other clients. I have been looking into conditionals, but I might not be applying them correctly, as they do not make a difference. Below you will find a screenshot and the sample code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Between the two tables place a ghost column.
Let me know if this works for you.
That worked, albeit with a tiny gap in between (that I can live with), but it screws up the alignment for the rest. I do not understand very well how these conditionals work, so I am not sure where I would add another to fix the alignment. Here's a visual aid:
this code works:
there you have it, i dont know how to post html
This worked flawlessly, thanks Badiu! I need to test it more now, but so far so good. I need to review the placement of the conditionals to understand the logic better. I am guessing I only need to worry about the left aligned one and the other falls in line? Here's a screenshot:
