Please provide piece of code for better understanding.

How do you embed the background images - with an img src="http://somewhere.com/someimage.jpg" tag or directly?
In the former case: does the email software you use for viewing the email block external content?
in the latter case: do you see the code for the image in the source of the email?

From css
.mailimage1{background:url("Samplemailimages/green.jpg") no-repeat top left;}

<td class="mailimage1">

.mailimage1{background:url("Samplemailimages/green.jpg") no-repeat top left;}
That's the point: where is Samplemailimages/green.jpg? Somewhere on your server. And the email client - where does it run? On the client computer. Where does the email client expect the image? Somewhere on the local disk. Hence it cannot show it.
Give a proper full URL, something like
http://www.yourserver.com/Samplemailimages/green.jpg
instead of the relative URL above.
