Hi,
I just started to use SpringMail. I would like to temporarily disconnect an email-account (in order to avoid pro-email during the week-end for example): is it possible ? I saw a post explaining how to delete an account, but not to disconnect.
Thank you very much for your answer !

There isn’t a “pause this account” switch, but there are two ways to get most of the way there.
The quick one: use the dropdown beside the account name at the top of the left sidebar (or Cmd+2 / Ctrl+2, Cmd+3… for each account, Cmd+1 / Ctrl+1 for All Accounts) to view only your personal account over the weekend. Work mail keeps syncing quietly in the background, but it’s out of sight. One limitation: new-mail notifications still fire for the hidden account, so this doesn’t buy you silence.
For a true separation, run a second Mailspring profile: launch the app with --config-dir-path=/path/to/another/folder and it starts with its own accounts, settings, and cache. Put work in one profile and personal in the other, and on the weekend just open the personal one. Only one instance runs at a time, so it’s a switch rather than two windows. More on that here: Setting up multiple accounts — Mailspring Documentation
Removing and re-adding the account also works, of course, but it re-downloads everything each time, so I wouldn’t do that weekly.
