Outlook.com ads are served by Microsoft advertising, over which you have some control.

Both support the core email tasks: sending and receiving messages, attachments, filtering, and cloud storage.
These email services also support connected services, such as calendars and contacts lists.
If youre looking for a new email service, you cant go wrong with Outlook.com or Gmail.
The one you choose may come down to your personal preference.
Its not the same as Outlook, which is part of the Microsoft 365 suite of productivity applications.
Both Outlook.com and Gmail have the option to compose email messages in either plain text or rich text.
If you choose rich text, you can format messages with bold, italic, and underlined text.
Outlook.com supports tabs, which enable you to open email messages in separate tabs within one Outlook.com page.
This feature makes it easy to track which emails you need to look at again without marking those messages as unread.
In comparison, the Gmail UI can seem cluttered and offers fewer options for customization.
If you receive email attachments, youll love the photo viewer integrated into Outlook.com.
Photos appear in a slideshow format, from which you can view, download, and save photos to OneDrive or another attached cloud storage account.
The immersive reader feature in Outlook.com helps you focus on one emailand nothing else.
Right-click (in Windows) or Control-click (on a Mac) a message, and then select Show in immersive reader.
The email fills the whole page and blocks everything else to help you concentrate.
Theres also an option to have Outlook.com read the text to you, describe each word, and more.
For example, if you have a Hotmail account and go to Hotmail.com, the website redirects to Outlook.com.
The same is true for Windows Live email addresses.
To make it more confusing, the Outlook.com website isnt Outlook.com but rather Outlook.Live.com.
Gmail is Gmail.
One failing in Outlook.com is that the compose window, where you write emails, is small.
You can adjust the size a bit, but it can be hard to write emails if you embed pictures or want a distraction-free interface.
The Gmail compose window, in contrast, can be as large as you want it to be.
Its small when you select Compose, but you can select Full-screen to make it larger.
You can also make it a separate window by holding the Shift key when you select Compose, limiting distractions.
Instead of the contrasting text links found in Gmail, Outlook.com uses same-colored tiles.
The visual experience is subtle, but ads in Outlook.com dont draw your attention like the ads in Gmail.
