I bought something from Clubhouse golf and now get 2 "adverts" per day in my inbox. I can't see any way of unsubscribing or blocking these adverts. Any suggestions please?

Can you set up a rule to automatically delete emails from this sender or instead mark the sender as spam.

There doesn't seem to be an email adress I can mark as spam.

Pretty sure this is Microsoft's new way of targeting ads.

That's why it's free.

That would be extremely annoying.

That's why they do it so you pay and then you don't get ads.

Sounds like this.

If you’re not paying for the product, you are, the product.

I use Gmail and I never see a single advert.

Thinking about it I've paid for a Google One subscription so I have cloud storage so perhaps doing that removes them but it's a very "clean" experience given I pay peanuts for the storage.

If the advert is at the top of the Inbox, masquerading as an e-mail in Outlook, it can probably be dealt with by a facility within your ad blocker:

It is possible to delete/block the fields where the advert appears. YouTube videos show you how, as it is not an entirely intuitive procedure (not for me anyway!)

This also works in OneDrive, if you do not want the "This time last month/year/whatever" pictorial intrusions above the list of folders within the OneDrive folder on your PC.

Thanks Clif, I’ll try that when I get home.
