<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, it is possible to enable it again.
- </p>
+ <p>You can disable an account to prevent <app>Empathy</app> from logging in to
+ it without removing the account entirely. You may wish to disable and re-enable
+ an account if you only want to be logged in to the account at certain times,
+ but you still want to use <app>Empathy</app> for other accounts.</p>
