31   <title>Disable an account</title>
32
33   <p>You can disable an account to prevent <app>Empathy</app> from logging in to
34   it without removing the account entirely.  You may wish to disable and re-enable
35   an account if you only want to be logged in to the account at certain times,
36   but you still want to use <app>Empathy</app> for other accounts.</p>
