UPDATE 28Apr2025: I renewed and changed my subscription to Microsoft Personal Classic and that *seemed* to eliminate Co-Pilot. For how long? Who knows? But at least now its no longer showing up on my emails. Thank you to everyone who shared my frustrations and who offered suggestions.
How do I remove Copilot from my Outlook email (and all other applications for that matter)? I have a 5 year old MacBook Pro. I use Outlook (Hotmail account) and all of a sudden CoPilot has appeared when I start writing or replying to emails. I do NOT want it. I do NOT need it. It is VERY distracting and I want to disable and/or remove it. Any advice would be most appreciated. I tried searching online but could not find a suitable answer. Thank you.
I do not know if I have the New or Legacy Outlook.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
But WHY!? No one asked for this. It's invasive and annoying. I don't want your app scanning my emails and getting in the way.
Copilot should be an option in outlook it is extremely annoying
Wait.... CD's? Is that still an option? Tell me more, because I absolutely hate the subscription thing.
Back in the good olde days, in the previous millennium, not the AD's (80's) or BC's (Before COVID) we used to buy the CD's and load them on all our computers. Then, we would NEVER update the software, and it would work perfectly forever. They "tricked" us with their new labor-saving updates for only $99 annually, up to five computers with the latest and greatest software packages, all maxed out and without AI, that curse on humanity. Ah, the good olde days before that symbol tracking our cursor ("cursing it all the way") and reading our emails first, like the Devil-himself (Bill Gates) standing over your shoulder. I need a "Coach" for my writing like I need Satan-himself working by my side, always.
I used these references to find an 100% effective solution: https://www.techradar.com/pro/free-email-clients-listed-and-compared https://www.pcmag.com/picks/best-email-clients
i.e. email client software that avoids MS's heavy-handed obnoxiousness.
Thuderbird is powerful but sometimes fiddly.
eM Client is becoming my newest favorite.
Thank you for that information
