Hello.

Can I somehow disable the mail app? Not uninstall but temporary close/disable the app. Obviously I can just uninstall or remove my accounts that I synced with the Mail app but I'm looking for closing it (in background). Like for example, manually or for an hour, I don't want the mail app to receive/sent/sync anything.

I tried from Windows 10's Settings>Privacy>Background Apps> but I can't find Mail there. There are Twitter, Microsoft Edge, People, Calendar, Photos but no Mail.

Can't I somehow "kill" the mail from task manager? Quiet hours is just for notifications to pop up, right? I want in general to stop syncing because I use VPN for connecting to different clients and I don't want my Mail to start syncing with the other's client (from VPN) IP address.
