[MlMt] Stop mail import

[Marc ARC]

Benny,

Managed to solve the issue.
- took all of the mailboxes of line
- synchronised the concerned mailbox ( MM created a lost mail )
	just left MM do his thing for some hours
- then delete all of these emails via the web interface of the server

So far so good or am I too optimistic :-)
