K9 mail - how to turn off temporarily ?

[jp71]

I use my defy as my work and personal phone. Going on leave for a week and don't want to keep getting my work emails.

I use K9 mail with an IMAP set up. Can't find where to turn off the mail whilst I am away.

Any ideas ? thanks

K-9 mail > Menu > Accounts > select your work email account with long press on it > Account settings > Fetching mail > Folder poll frequency > Never

Hope this helps.

Setting 'Folder poll frequency' to 'never' doesn't keep my K9 Mail from receiving mails.

(I respond to this thread because it's still actual and scores high in Google)

Take a look at the Settings >> Global Settings >> Notifications options. There are 'Quiet Time' settings to disable K-9 notifications during the start and stop times you specify, if you want your mail notifications to only happen during a set time of your day. There's also a 'Network' option to enable/disable 'Background sync', if you feel like auto-syncing isn't necessary and are happy to just manually check for new emails.

Thanks for your answer, but I have others mail-accounts in K9 so can't disable all K9 notifications.

Do you have an option for keeping K9 from fetching, or being pushed, new e-mails for a single account?

I think I('ve) got it: I've set Push Folder to none.
