I do this via sql. The accounts have an extra flag that just toggles
enable/disable, which is used as part of the sql query. Both the smtp
server and the cyrus imap client then check the flag when doing valid
account checks. It makes it real easy to turn off an account but leave
all its data intact for easy re-enabling later.
