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?

I hear ya! The ads recently started showing up in my inbox. They look like an email but when I click to delete it, the mail opens. Outlook must think they are pretty slick. In fact, I make it a point to NEVER EVER respond to an ad such as this....NEVER!
Well, it's been over a month now and it doesn't look like they have any intention of stopping it as I still get ads every single, friggin' day!
I downloaded Fair Adblocker from Google, and it helps. The ads still show up in my inbox, but as soon as I click on my inbox they disappear. It also shows an empty screen where ads used to appear in other places.
I am equally as determined to move away from outlook if ads continue in my email inbox. What an invasion!
ihave the same question. I will be eaving outlook if I cant remove these nasty ads
