I saw these adds ages ago when they first let me try it out. Immediately reverted. Ill stop using it once it stops working.

Also saw ads when it was in beta. Switched to Thunderbird that same day. When support for Windows 10 dies I'll be switching to Linux on my desktop. Ads are stinky

I have to use Office 365 for work so there's no alternative but I think these ads are just for the non-enterprise version? I use Thunderbird for private use but tbf, I send like 2 emails a month at most. Are there many people that use outlook daily for private use?

I saw an add just last week asking me to install Outlook on my phone. I use Outlook for work too, so I just dismissed it.
