Disable Automatic Reply Banner Notification

Question

When composing an email to someone who has an auto reply set up, this intrusive yellow banner always pops up and annoyingly shifts the To/CC fields downward. Is there a way to disable this banner popup? I have several colleagues that must be emailed regularly even when they are "out of office" so this banner is unnecessary and redundant, and the fact that it pushes the To/CC fields down drives me crazy.

Dear troyjack,

Good day. After thorough research, testing from my end and consulting, it’s been concluded that it is not feasible to remove disable Automatic Reply Banner Notification from the sender side, this banner in the new outlook for Mac it is link to the recipient email address, to notify the sender that the recipient is not available at this time.

As workaround if you don't want to see it you should switch back to the legacy outlook. Reference: The new Outlook for Mac - Microsoft Support
