Yes, pretty much. It looks the same as regular unread emails except they identify them with "Ad". It's distracting and annoying and you can't remove it.

Yeah that's gross, from what I'm seeing Microsoft is saying if you do not have an email that is attached to a paid O365 account and have the free mobile app they fund it by those ads. If you do pay for the O365 subscription on your account or your work email is one Id try this: Settings. Tap Security and Privacy >Privacy>Other Privacy Settings> Ads. Tap Reset Advertising ID and confirm your changes.

If that doesn't work maybe uninstall the app and reinstall making sure the playstore is logged in with the email tied to the O365 account

That blows, curious if that does anything.
