How can I disable Copilot completely in my Outlook WEB interface?

Recently, I've started getting things like "Summary by Copilot" or "Try Draft with Copilot" inside my Outlook WEB interface.

I've searched the help pages and online, but could not find a way to completely disconnect Copilot from my email web interface. I don't want it to even scan my emails.

I feel like I've got AI pushed down my throat lately by everyone, and frankly, I really don't want it.

Thanks

    Well some of you might already have noticed this, but someone at Microsoft has finally woken up to the mountain of complaints about compulsory Copilot in Outlook web ...

    Select settings | Copilot then turn off the Copilot switch.

    -- an option which should have been there from day 1 !

    Fingers crossed this is now permanent, and that no-one decides to remove it anytime.

    Yes, there's a switch now -

    The button is still there, just grayed out, and I'm still seeing the "summary" banner. I'll give it a few reload cycles before sighing in frustration again...

    Remember back when we fought to keep government and big business out of our emails? Remember when the idea of someone looking through our stuff felt so creepy and invasive that we banded together to keep email private? Now Microsoft feels that they can search through our emails and make suggestions for what we write next and they're promoting it as a feature.

    Microsoft, please stop pushing copilot on us.
