!important is not working in outlook email

I was working with email templates and found that !important CSS property is not working in Outlook email template. It works correctly in Gmail and Yahoo!. So, it's better to remove !important property from the email template when we create one.
Again, Background-color CSS property is not working in Gmail. It works in Yahoo. We need to use Background property in this regard. Like below:

background:#fff;
