                Subject:        How to TEMPORARILY stop receiving mail

                Hi all.
                I remember someone posted this question before and there is
a way to do this.
                I want to stop receiving mails for 2 weeks while I am away.
Please let me
                know if anyone knows about it.

                Thank you

                Logan.
