How do I TURN OFF the "Summary by Copilot banner that appears on every single email I receive in outlook?

I may, maybe once a year when tagged into a super long email thread try to get a summary... but 99.99% of the time I will never want to use this, as such the banner is annoying and consumes lots of valuable space where I could render my email.

How can I turn this off? or hide it by default?

    Yeah wish that were true - don't believe the hype!

    Windows Mail is being replaced by Outlook - and guess what, it also has the stupid banner, hence comes with copilot!

    The increase in prices is to pay for AI, even if you don't use the the so-called feature. But it has a limit - you know, the typical credit garbage by means of which AI sucks money out of people.

    So the reason for all this garbage comes down to this new incentive (AI) to drain people of their hard earned cash.

    I really hope there is a court action soon that penalizes these money grabbers for forcing people to pay for things they didn't ask for and will never use.

    Is there now a way to disable Co-pilot in Outlook? I have completely removed the App from my computer, but Outlook still shows a 1/2" tall banner in the middle of my small laptop screen. This is so annoying. I actually tried looking at summaries of a couple email strings and the summary completely useless. Huge waste of space.

    This is a blue-screen of death kinda moment and I wish MS would fix it.

    I agree with the other posts about not being able to remove copilot. My issue is that my microsoft account is not a company, it is a private account and I am not able to shut off copilot. I am sure there is a way or option to do that if it is not a company account.
