Description

Im not too sure if this is already there, but i cannot find it anywhere.

An option for going offline for a specific account should be available for each email account. When holding the email account down to open a menu there should be an option there for ease of use.
Until the user feels that the email account should come online, then he can manually switch it on again.

Any thoughts?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the per-account long-press menu and the account connectivity handling, then clarify how offline state should persist and what account actions it affects; done should provide a usable way to take one account offline and bring it online again.
