This is a simple question that seems like it should have a simple answer.

I am working with several email accounts. On occasion, I would like to
disable an account but not delete it. Deleting it means that I have to
completely rebuild it when I want to use it again. Is there any way to
disable an email account without deleting it? Not a major issue but it
seems there should be a way to disable an account without deleting it.

Not sure if this is an item of importance but I am using POP3 instead of
Exchange.

What do you mean by "disable"? Do you mean you don't want it to send or
receive mail? If that's the case, open the Send/Receive Groups dialogue
(Alt-Ctrl-S), select the Send/Receive group contaiing the account (probably
"All Accounts"), click Edit, selec the account, and uncheck the box labeled
"Include the selected account in this group" or uncheck the boxes labeled
"Send mail items" and "Receive mail items". Click OK, then Close.

Exactly what I wanted.
