Using Outlook for Android in business environments for email and scheduling
SOLUTION
Update: To be free you MUST have an outlook.com account. It's a **** but these instructions eventually work:
Why am I seeing ads with a Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, or Basic subscription on a non-Outlook email address? Your ad-free subscription benefits apply automatically for all Outlook.com accounts, including those ending in outlook.com, hotmail.com, live.com, and msn.com. They also apply automatically for Gmail accounts. If you have a different 3rd party email address, we are not able to detect your subscription automatically. However, you can get your ad-free benefit using the instructions below.
- Log into https://account.microsoft.com using the email address where you purchased the subscription.
- Click on “Your Info” at the top.
- Next to the “Account info” header click on “Edit account info.” You may be prompted to log in again.
- You’ll see a list of account aliases. Click on “Add email” to add a new alias.
- Create a new Outlook.com email address by selecting, “Create a new email address and add it as an alias.”
Once you’ve followed the steps to create your new Outlook.com email address, you can add it as an account in Outlook. Adding this account will grant your ad-free Outlook benefit.
