How to disable g mail from google account

Disabling Gmail from a Google account is a bit of a process, but it's doable. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

Important: Before you proceed, please note that disabling Gmail will also disable other Google services that are linked to your account, such as Google Drive, Google Photos, and Google Calendar. If you only want to disable Gmail and keep other services active, you can consider creating a new Google account and using it for Gmail only.

Method 1: Disable Gmail from the Google Account settings

  1. Sign in to your Google account on the Google Account settings page.
  2. Click on the "Data & personalization" tab.
  3. Scroll down to the "Download, delete, or make a plan for your data" section.
  4. Click on "Delete a Google service or your account."
  5. Select "Gmail" from the list of services.
  6. Click on "Delete Gmail" and then confirm that you want to delete the service.

Method 2: Disable Gmail from the Gmail settings

  1. Sign in to your Gmail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page.
  3. Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Scroll down to the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
  5. Click on the "Disable" button next to "POP" or "IMAP" (depending on which protocol you're using).
  6. Confirm that you want to disable the protocol.

Method 3: Disable Gmail using the Google Account settings API

If you're comfortable with using the Google Account settings API, you can use the following command to disable Gmail:

curl -X POST \ https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/revoke \ -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \ -d 'token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'

Replace YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN with the access token for your Google account.

After disabling Gmail

After disabling Gmail, you'll no longer be able to access your Gmail account or send/receive emails. If you want to reactivate Gmail, you'll need to re-enable it using one of the methods above.

Keep in mind that disabling Gmail will also disable other Google services that are linked to your account. If you only want to disable Gmail and keep other services active, you may want to consider creating a new Google account and using it for Gmail only.
