  <title>Disable an account</title>

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

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, choose <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui>
      <gui>Accounts</gui></guiseq>, or press <key>F4</key>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select the account you wish to disable from the accounts list on the left
      side of the window.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>On the right side of the window, switch it off.
      </p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>
    To re-enable the account, switch it on.
