Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are times when I would like to disable specific accounts but leave the account in K9.
There are various email apps which allow you to do this such as Hermes/Eudora and Pop Peeper.
Describe the solution you'd like
An option in Account Settings / General Settings to Disable or Enable account.
Disabling Account would stop fetching or Sending email and Enabling would allow fetching or sending email from the account.
Describe alternatives you've considered
None except deleting the account but that is not what I want to do.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Account Settings / General Settings UI and the account fetching and sending entry points. Confirm how account state is stored and used, then make the disabled state prevent both fetching and sending while enabling restores both behaviors; verify the setting can be changed without deleting the account.
