Today ads started showing up at the top of my Outlook.com Inbox. They look like emails but I can't delete or block them. In the past ads did show up on the right had side and I could live with that but I don't want them at the top of my Inbox.
I want important emails at the top of my inbox not ads. And don't tell me that this is because I have a free account. My google email account is free and it puts all ads where they belong under a Promotions tab where I can ignore them.
How do I correct this?

Same with me -- Today ads started showing up at the top of my Outlook.com Inbox. They look like emails but I can't delete or block them. If this doesn't stop soon, I will be switching to another email provider.
At first I thought I couldn't delete them like I delete other emails but then I figured out that to the right of the from line and before the subject line are some icons and one of them is the trash can. Click on that to delete the ad. I agree they are very annoying.
Exactly! Who in their right mind would decide to invest in a company just because they ran an ad in their email server? I don't think these ads generate any business for the companies who are paying money to run these ads.
Putting unwanted ads in the inbox is totally unacceptable! User should choose what goes there.
I agree this is absurd that Microsoft is flooding our email accounts with ads. I deal with enough junk mail and now I need to put up with Microsoft sending unwanted ads directly to my inbox. Does this company have any conscience or business ethics? Stop this nonsense now!!!!
