Same pattern as any other channel (Manual 24, section 3):

- **Disconnect** (button at the bottom of the panel, with the channel connected): stops reading and
  replying to that mailbox, but keeps the entire configuration — agent, owners, credentials — for when you
  connect it again.
- **Delete** (trash icon on the card): removes the instance entirely. It can't be deleted while the channel
  is **Connected** — disconnect it first.
