23    <desc>Some online accounts can be used to access multiple services (like
24    calendar and email). You can control which of these services can be used by
25    applications.</desc>

30  <p>Some types of online account providers allow you to access several services
31  with the same user account. For example, Google accounts provide access to
32  calendar, email, and contacts. You may want to use your account for some
33  services, but not others. For example, you may want to use your Google account
34  for email but not calendar if you have a different online account that you use
35  for calendar.</p>
36
37  <p>You can disable some of the services that are provided by each online
38  account:</p>

58      <p>Switch off any of the services that you do not want to use.</p>
59    </item>

63  computer will not be able to use the account to connect to that service any
64  more.</p>
