Ads in Inbox

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?

    You can delete them with the garbage can to the right of the ad but they'll just be back again........and again.......and again!

    I'm not sure if it began after the last update, but it's only been a few weeks, so that's a definite possibility. It is very annoying! I'm not real happy about the ads that have been shown forever on the edge of Outlook, but understand they are a business, and have to make money. However, I am really pi....d about them sending email ads. I have seen many, many others that are equally ticked. I'm wondering if anyone from Microsoft is actually reading all this negative feedback! Someone from Microsoft should write an official response!!!

    But they'll be back. I get at one at least everyother day. I'm going to see if I can set my laptop back to before the update and see what happens. If it works I'll be back and let you know

    did your's start after the last update? Me too. I think they're pushing to get people to pay for the ad free so they're going to annoy the **** out of us. Hey fine, I can just go to my gmail account and quit using this

    Doesn't do any good to delete them! They just show up AGAIN when you open your inbox the next time.
