Hello,
Since early February, my Zimbra Free inbox has been cluttered by a new window displaying IMPOSED sponsored links!
How can I remove this window "Our selection of articles" that clutters the screen and pollutes the reading?
I consistently delete it with the comment "Offensive," and I am told that "in the future, we will try not to send emails of this type." A lost cause, of course!
Is there a solution to get rid of this trash overflow in my inbox?

Hello,
Add the "Adblock+" module to your browser which will stop advertising banners.
In your inbox, mark these junk mails as unwanted or spam, so that in the future they are automatically stored in the designated folder. A folder that you should empty from time to time.
Best regards.
If your problem is solved, please indicate so, as it may help others.

Hello,
I managed to remove the ad banner in the Email section of Zimbra using Firefox by going to Firefox options,
Privacy,
History,
Remove specific cookies,
typing Zimbra in Search,
selecting all the cookies found,
and deleting the selected cookies.
It might work for you too, and possibly with other browsers.
Cheers
PS: I have adblock but it wasn't stopping those ads.

Thank you, Abel and Tom, for your responses...
I haven't tried Adblock+ because it might only solve the symptom, not the cause, not the underlying issue... (well at the same time, I might be nitpicking, you could say... :-)
Indeed, the problem is only present on one specific PC, so I think a malware or something like that must have installed itself (especially since the ads take up half the screen in height!).
I therefore downloaded and ran a scan with MalwareBytes. No results.
So, since it only started happening about 15 days ago, I restored to a Windows restore point from a month ago, and since then, the problem is resolved (for now....)
If it comes back, I will try out your two solutions...
Thank you ;-)

In fact, the problem is not being able to qualify an email as "spam" or "unwanted," that's easy to do when advertising emails arrive directly in the inbox.
In this case, these ads are not in the Fee box but in a new window that opens, IN ADDITION to the email box. This window appears on the screen in an unmanageable way because it is, I presume, a choice by Zimbra Free to impose this window with sponsored links that you can open if you want, of course, but which are constantly present. According to the formal conditions for configuring and presenting your email box, there are between one and four sponsored links that are imposed on the user! This takes up space, complicates access, and hinders the reading ease of the personal email box. In short, I repeat, it’s unbearable.
Previously, I didn’t have this problem. Apparently, there is no access to intervene on this window.
And it is precisely this new window that I am trying to remove. Alas! I fear that, just like advertising billboards that are imposed on your view in public spaces, which cannot be removed, it is the same with this window (a deliberate and unilateral choice by the Free webmail server) while we are in private space.

And I'm still going to apply Tom's solution, it doesn't cost anything ;-)
As for Adblock, in a second step if it comes back, because adding something that eats up (even if it's not much) memory...

Hello,
As you wish.
If it happens again, you can use AdwCleaner here
Scan/clean/uninstall.
-> This way, at the end of the operation, it disappears and frees up space ;)
So it's resolved then...
