Try this. Also in Settings > Apps > Mail, open Apple Intelligence and Siri. On my iPhone 17 I have all options turned off.
But one very important thing ... when you are done with a screen, be sure to tap the arrow in the top, left corner. This sets your preferences. My instructions below should have added:
Tap the arrow in the top, left corner to exit and set your preferences.

I am having the same issue. I would like to not see any prompts ever to summarize an email. I have turned off all the AI features I can find including "Summarize message previews" but I still get a prompt at the top of every email asking if I want to summarize it.
How do I get rid of this?

iPhone 17
