Microsoft Outlook Upgrade Your Account Emails that Cannot Be Sent to Junk

In the past week or so, I have been getting emails with the subject Microsoft Outlook Upgrade that are mostly blank if I open them. While I have the option to delete them, all of the Archive, Junk, Block Sender, Move To etc. options disappear. I also cannot find any of these options if I open the email and right-click on it. Furthermore, when I delete the emails (4 so far today), they do not show up in the Trash folder. All of the email handling options show up for all the other emails in my account.

About the only thing I can do is right-click and View Page Source or Inspect. When I do that, it shows that the source is www.w3.org/1999/xhtml.  But I cannot add this to my blocked sender list because I get an error message that says it is an incorrectly formatted email address.

So can someone please tell me how to junk these annoying emails (which occasionally also tell me that they are new kind of ad).

    OK, I see a delete icon next to it now with the Ad symbol and deleted. Do not want these ADs

    You can delete it all you want. It's coming back tomorrow. Day in and day out. It's not an ad but an untouchable email hacked into their own product until you spend a little cash. I leave it sitting there like a small banner above my emails. It must be producing results for them to nag this long.

    You've doubled down on your useless advice, and repeated a suggestion that a) other people don't have as a settings option, and b) doesn't turn off ads anyway!

    Stopping spamming this topic with nonsense, you're wasting people's time on purpose and only frustrating anyone that bothers to listen to your incorrect advice.
