# Suspend email account incoming (SMTP) mail

`GET /Email/suspend_incoming`

This function suspends incoming email for an account. The system will reject incoming email while the account is suspended.

**Notes:**

* The user can still log in to the email account. To suspend a user's ability to log in to, send mail from, and read their account, use the UAPI `Email::suspend_login` function.
* Use the UAPI `Email::unsuspend_incoming` function to allow the account to receive email.

**Important:**

When you disable the [Receive Mail role](https://go.cpanel.net/serverroles), the system **disables** this function.
