Removing email accounts on one computer but not wanting to remove on all computers on the same network.

I have a MacPro desktop and a Macbook Pro. I would like to remove my apple email account from the Macbook Pro but do not want to take the chance of losing the same account on my MacPro desktop. They use the same internet connection and network. Can I just remove the apple email account on the Macbook Pro? Both computers are using OSX 10.9.5.

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), Time Machine

I'm assuming the account is IMAP. You can safely remove any IMAP account and all data will be left on the server for other devices.


When you check to disable, the account will simply gray out and no longer connect.
