Disabling an account temporarily prevents Zammad from importing its messages.

This may be necessary during scheduled maintenance or when migrating your installation to a new host.

Disabling an account disables outgoing messages for it, as well.

Delete

Deleting an account removes its configuration from Zammad entirely.

Note

🧹 Additional Steps Required

When an email account is deleted, its email aliases remain in the system. Be sure to reassign or delete them manually.

Click on the address to assign it to another account, or click ✖ to delete it.
