Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the "Summarize" feature in Nextcloud Mail is a global implementation linked to the Nextcloud Assistant. There is no way for an individual user to opt-out or hide this feature if they don't want to use it, or if they have specific privacy concerns regarding their email content being processed by LLMs.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see a toggle in the Mail Settings (User settings, not just Admin) that allows each user to:
- Enable or disable the "Summarize" button (and other AI features)
- If disabled, no data should be reachable or sent to the Assistant from the Mail app for that specific user.
Describe alternatives you've considered
No alternative on the user side.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Mail Settings entry point, the Summarize button, and the integration with Nextcloud Assistant. Define how a per-user setting controls visibility and prevents that user's mail data from being reachable or sent, then verify both enabled and disabled behavior.
