# Festive treat: How-to temporarily stop receiving JISCMail list messages

I’ve a very complicated email setup which involves mail forwarding, group email addresses and loads of rules and alerts. I also have to keep a passing eye on work email over the holidays to keep projects like EduApps and MyStudyBar ticking over. Consequently, I’ll be dipping into email using the brilliant (and open source) [K9 email app for Android](http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/).

So that I don’t miss something important in the gentle hum of all my mail subscriptions for the holidays I’ll be temporarily suspending the email I receive from most of the 34 [JISCMail lists](http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk) I subscribe to. Below is a quick [screencast showing how to suspend JISCMail messages](http://screenr.com/hAu) (to restart receiving is a similar process). Happy holidays!
