If you have a mail client - software under your control, then you'll be an advert-free happy camper.
If you run a web-browser to someone-else's mail server, you'll get adverts.
These days, spam is pretty obvious. You could count it as an adverts, but it is relatively innocuous in that downloads aren't generally concurrent with display and they are fairly easy to filter. A decent mail client will filter out html and will also filter the remote content in html.
