Other email providers:

If you're using a different email provider, such as AOL, Hotmail, or ProtonMail, you can usually find the option to pause your inbox by following these general steps:

1. Log in to your email account.
2. Click on the settings or gear icon.
3. Look for a section related to "Filters," "Rules," or "Settings."
4. Search for the option to "Pause inbox" or "Suspend email delivery."
5. Choose the duration for which you want to pause your inbox.
6. Save your changes.

Keep in mind that pausing your email may not completely eliminate all emails from being delivered to your inbox. Some emails, such as important notifications or automated messages, may still be delivered to your inbox even if you've paused it.
