Switching off mail sources temporarily

Switching off mail sources temporarily

[David Hanak]

Hi,

Is there a regular way of turning off a mail source temporarily or I have
to write a function that regenerates mail-sources whenever I want a change?

(The problem is that one of my mail service providers is a bit unreliable
and connection to the server often fails for a period, and then it comes
back.)

Thanks for any ideas,

Go to the server buffer and press `D' (deny) on the server.  Press
`O' (open) when you want to enable it again.
