31 <title>Disable an account</title>
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>
40 <p>From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, choose <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui>
41 <gui>Accounts</gui></guiseq>, or press <key>F4</key>.</p>
44 <p>Select the account you wish to disable from the accounts list on the left
45 side of the window.</p>
48 <p>Deselect <gui style="checkbox">Enabled</gui> on the right side of the
49 window. This option is after your primary account details, but before
50 any advanced settings.</p>
54 Click <gui style="button">Apply</gui>.
59 <p>To re-enable the account, simply select <gui style="checkbox">Enabled</gui>
60 and click <gui>Apply</gui>.</p>
