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?
Configuring preferences and options in Outlook.com

I have changed email app. I will only use outlook for contact functions, but to be honest, if that's the only thing I'll use outlook for, I may as well migrate it all elsewhere.
Very disappointed.
A significant number of people have taken the time to complain/post about Microsoft forcing unwanted ads onto our Outlook email. Surely, someone from Microsoft monitors this venue. It would seem appropriate and respectful for Microsoft to post an official response to these complaints. Or, they can choose to ignore all these complaints/customers, and we all know what that would imply. Let's hope they choose to do the right thing!
Get rid of this ad showing up at the top of my inbox.
I don't think that Microsoft give a stuff about what their users want.
Very aggravating to see ad's everytime I open outlook on my phone, and why would I pay for premium when it's free without ad's everywhere. I'm switching to something else too, just not sure yet. Google, yahoo? Does Duck Duck go have email?
