The closest I got was a site telling me to uncheck the “Mail” option in the account settings. Googling this, I found hundreds of tutorials on how to set up and remove e-mail accounts (I know how to do both neither is what I’m looking for), but nothing useful. This question asks about more or less the same thing, except it’s for OS X Mail, which works quite differently from iOS Mail, and it is about a permanently defunct mail address, whereas this question is about an account which will hopefully be online again at some point in the not too distant future. Old e-mails which have been fetched should still appear in the inbox and subfolders and be searchable it just shouldn’t try to actually connect to the server to fetch or send new e-mail. In order to get rid of this infuriating, incessant pestering for a password that I can’t give, I would like to temporarily disable syncing from this account, but only syncing. (It’s also terrible UI/UX to repeatedly block the entire interface from the user every time the app is opened, but that’s a different matter.) This means my iPhone is constantly asking for a password – it obviously can’t connect since the account is frozen – and telling me it cannot fetch e-mail for this account. The underlying user account has been disabled on the university’s servers, and I cannot log in. I have a university e-mail account (Exchange, if that makes a difference) which for reasons that aren’t relevant to this question does not work at the moment.
