I have just noticed that I now have a Copilot dropdown above the Ribbon on the right hand side in my Outlook Classic 2019 - I DO NOT WANT THIS RUBBISH IN MY OFFICE APPLICATIONS!!!!

How many more times are Microsoft going to thrust these stupid ideas down our throats 🤬

What I need to know is how to remove it.....Please someone help as there are no details on the internet, unless you are a 365 user, which I'm not

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

    Hello

    Thank you for your prompt response, I would like to know what is the email domain that is added on to your Outlook 2019 and how is it setup? (POP, IMAP, Exchange)

    Best Regards,

    If you are still seeing this issue, please let me know what build is your Outlook (File, Office Account, under About Outlook)? I'm testing to see if I can repro so I can get this escalated to the Outlook Team.

    Thank you, Paul. I was able to repro, and I filed a bug with the Outlook Team to get this addressed. I'll post back when I know it will be fixed.
