40 <title>Disable an account</title>
42 <p>You can disable an account to prevent <app>Empathy</app> from logging in to
43 it without removing the account entirely. You may wish to disable and re-enable
44 an account if you only want to be logged in to the account at certain times,
45 but you still want to use <app>Empathy</app> for other accounts.</p>
49 <p>From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, choose <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui>
50 <gui>Accounts</gui></guiseq>, or press <key>F4</key>.</p>
53 <p>Select the account you wish to disable from the accounts list on the left
54 side of the window.</p>
57 <p>On the right side of the window, switch it off.
63 To re-enable the account, switch it on.
