Disable/suspend an email account

[raph]

I have several email accounts some of which, for various reasons, are not currently functional . I would like to be able to mark these as disabled so that TB does not attempt to use them. I do not want to delete them, I just want them to be ignored.

Hi community,

this is a very good idea. I have the same problem. 

Disabling the account "make it offline" should disable it for trying to connect to the Internet (when pressing "check new emails for all accounts" but I should able to work with downloaded emails. 

This is what a lot of users need, but they are not searching for FEATURE REQUESTS on Mozzila website.

Is similar, but not the same. He wants to disable notifications. But when you cannot connect to the account (wrong password or nonexisting account" you will receive a WARNING! So the only way how to do that is to DISABLE THE ACCOUNT (make it offline).
