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.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE enable users to disable Co-Pilot in all programs. I know why you do not, you want to develop it by our use. However, it distracts and takes unnecessary time. I am not employed by Microsoft to develop its software. It costs me time - and therefore money
Copilot should be an option in outlook it is extremely annoying
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
