Log out of or temporarily turn off an email account in Mail on Mac
You can temporarily stop using an email account in Mail, then enable it again when you’re ready. When the account is disabled, its messages aren’t shown in Mail.
In the Mail app on your Mac, choose Mail > Accounts.
Select the account you want to stop using, then unselect the Mail tick box.
When you’re ready to start using the account again, just select the account’s Mail tick box.
