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?

Email satyan@microsoft.com - the CEO of Microsoft's email address. If he receives enough complaints then perhaps something will get done about this rubbish they're foisting on us.
Totally unacceptable - Copilot is complete rubbish and a waste of space. I have delted or turned it off everywhere else, but no option to disable it in the Web browser mail display is wholly unacceptable and could damage Microsot badly. I have hoghlighted this is an email to Microsoft's CEO - Satya Nadella.
I switched to eM Client. Free, easy, stress-free!
Copilot is complete rubbish and a waste of processing power. Why don't Microsoft wake and take note of the fact that most users have no need for, or want this, 21st century 'Clippy' - that was rubbish as well and was consigned to the scraphead - as should copilot
Okay Microsoft, this needs to be addressed.
I looked up various ways that Microsoft claims you can turn this off; I uninstalled it from my computer, where it obviously auto-installed with an update. It says you can remove it from your ribbon in apps (you can't). And Outlook is THE WORST. Not only is it in the ribbon, in the strange summary box above the email, but also in every email you write, it's there, and when you hit enter to start typing a new paragraph, it shows up again.
With no way to disable or delete this feature, I fear this is an absolute invasion of privacy, and I hope a class action lawsuit against Microsoft begins soon. That may be the only way to get their attention that none of us asked for this feature, and by having no way to turn it off or OPT OUT, they are invading our privacy.
Honestly, the most annoying and worst feature that any software has rolled out ever. Like others, I may just stop using Outlook altogether and switch to my other email platforms.
Pay attention Microsoft! Your customers are not happy!
YES !!!
