The ads are how Microsoft makes the money to keep Outlook free.

You can upgrade to Outlook Plus (paid) to be rid of them permanently.

 If you have PLUS and ads please contact the Billing Department.

If you are using Firefox you can use either popup blocker or No-script but neither will reclaim the space the ads take up.

    Rather than spending the $19.99, you could have used a FREE ad blocker.

    I use Webmail Ad Blocker (free). It removes the ads and expands the inbox to reuse the space previously occupied by the ads. There is a version for Firefox and a version for Chrome.

    The solution to the problem is quite simple actually. Why stay on a bad service leave it and switch to G-Mail, which is ADS free and just works perfect. ADS can not be accepted.

    1.) Create a G-Mail account.

    2.) Create a New Folder Ex (Outlook dump)

    3.) Send all mail from Outllook to the G-Mail account created.

    4.) Select and move all mail to (Outlook dump) folder.

    5.) Create new folders in G-mail and sort out the mail from Outlook dump.

    complete And now you're finally free.
