    Hi,

    I use IE as my web-browser, do you know how to get rid of the pop-up adds when I use outlook as I cannot open an E-mail until the ad is completely open.

    If you use either Chrome or Firefox as your browser, then do a search on "webmail ad blocker". That ad-on is free and there are versions for Chrome and Firefox. Download and install either or both versions. The ads in outlook will no longer be displayed.

    Fantastic!   I googled and got to http://jasonsavard.com/webmailAdBlocker 

    It's done the trick and that whole ad column has gone.

    Thank you so much, langware.

    I have an ad blocker and although it removes the ads the bar is still there taking up nearly half of the mail viewing area. I would like to see the size of the ad bar at least decreased or perhaps putting the slider at the bottom like there used to be so you are able to move your mail back and forth to read it? The last is inconvenient, but one option that allows us to view the entirety of our open mail and you your ad bar.

    Three or four years ago when there was only $1.00 charged for this service I found that even reasonable, but $20.00 is not and in the long run I would guess that it will cause you to loose customers. The idea that Microsoft needs to charge for this service at all is ridiculous and shows the lack of appreciation for those who have made Mr. Gates and this corporation so wealthy. Perhaps he needs more money so he might develop more of his deadly vaccines?

    Although I am aware of the 'agenda' Mr. Gates has, it does seem beneath even him to use extortion to gain more money holding our mail hostage and demanding a ransom. Or is it the product team responsible? Whichever is responsible for this bad decision, I'd like to ask: Do you plan to keep decreasing the mail viewing area until we pay? Poor Microsoft, the corporation has so little money they need to charge us to see our mail.. is that what you want us to believe? Last I heard, email was considered the same as postal mail and it is illegal to prevent someone from viewing their mail, which is what you're doing by blocking half of the screen.
