Is there a way to disable the AdChoices bar in outlook.com? It's annoying.

Thanks!

    So you "just want to view our emails and nothing else" do you fluffbundle? You want a free email account... but you don't want any adverts... just like a paid-for account... but without actually paying for it. How would that work? How do you think the costs of providing Hotmail/Outlook accounts are funded? I don't think Microsoft are "missing" anything, it's just basic economics, things cost money to provide!

    If you want an ad-free account pay for an upgrade to Ad-free Outlook.com. If you want to stick with the free version of Outlook, but your inbox is a bit cramped, consider buying a bigger screen. And for those people advocating Yahoo and Gmail over Outlook, both those companies scan your emails (i.e. electronically read them) to build a profile they can sell to advertisers - nasty.

    Office 365 and Outlook.com are two separate services.  Outlook.com will have the ads.  I don't know about Office 365 because I don't have an account there.

    As a subscriber of Office 365 I thought that I wouldn't have the Adchoices bar but I do.

    Is that normal?

    Hi guys,

    In order to hide that grey bar, follow the steps below:

    1. Go to "More mail settings"
    2. In the "Reading email" section, click "Content from third-party networks"
    3. In the "Showing public content" section, click "Don't show public content from third-party networks"
    4. Click "Save"

    And that's all!

    Regards,
