  <title>Disable an account</title>

  <p>
    Disabling an account means to deactivate it, temporarily or
    permanently. All the conversations you had will be kept in your computer.
  </p>
  <p>
    After disabling an account, you will be able to enable it again.
  </p>

  <steps>

      </p>
    </item>
      </list>
    </item>
