How to disable (but NOT delete) an account?

[mikeone]

Correct,  indeed I also agree with Paris Geek's suggestion

At least for me it was a bit confusing that messages were still downloaded while all sync options for that account were disabled.

Also, you can't use event based sync if you have 1 or more accounts which you don't want to check for new mail.

I understand and agree:
There should be two levels to turn mail sync on/off:

1) App level (as a master kill switch
App Settings--->Mail, receiving--->Scheduled Sync

2.) Account level (as an account's master kill switch
Account options--->Options and folders--->Account Options--->Scheduled Sync

bert003: good point, and Mikeone: good suggestion for a per-account master switch. 
A minor comment: as I described above, it is not clear if "scheduled" includes push and per-event syncs (the same at the account level as for the entire app).
So, I would call it "automated sync", to encompass all three types.

[mikeone]

In my opinion - from the average user's sight - the "push" option is a complement of the (scheduled) sync functionality:
1. enabling sync
2. in addition to that the user can activate push or not

So, the other way around, when the user want to "turn off" (any) "automatic" sync, I assume he also want no push anymore.

That said, indeed I support your suggestion(s), bert003 + StR

Yes, there is no per-account setting for "include in event based sync" (or not), as there is for "include in Refresh All". It is on my to-do
