Body: <p>I have following issue. We got an email from an business partner. She will not be working for the next 1.5 years. After that time she will be back. She asked us to use during this time a different (general address) email address. This address is already connected to the company.  Now I am wondering if it is possible to deactivate this contact for that specific time in terms of not losing a contact. Of course it should be reactivated automatically because I do not know if I will be responsible for our contacts at this time in the future. </p>
  
  <p>This would be the best way to keep her contact in the database and nobody has to remember reactivating the contact.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help.</p>
