Can the AdChoices bar be removed from Outlook.com?

Hi fluffbundle,

The grey boxes on the right pane of your mailbox are the advertisements. This cannot be removed on free accounts. You can upgrade to Ad-free Outlook to remove the advertisements from the your account.

Let us know if you have more questions.

Thanks.

I've just tried this and unfortunately it's made no visible difference.

I've just uploaded a screenshot for Melanie_D so fingers crossed she can resolve it for me.

These aren't "ads" as such.  There's a grey column down the right hand side of the inbox with 6 or so grey boxes, one on top of the other in it.  The boxes contain things such as " Take your appointments with you. Sync calendar on all devices. Try it now." and "Add networks such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to your inbox. Start here." I have not seen an actual ad from a third party company since I upgraded to Outlook.com, but I do find this column a complete waste of space and want to get rid of it. For me it serves absolutely no purpose.

I'll post a screen shot as suggested.

For the outlook.com interface, there is no "Close Ad" option.

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!
