Disable / Enable an Email Account

Last updated October 6, 2026

Turn an email account off and on without deleting it.

Disabling an email account does not delete it. Nobody can log in to a disabled account, but it can still receive new email, or you can set it to reject incoming email.

If you need to stop someone getting into an email account, we suggest you change the account's password or delete the account instead.
