Thanks for this helpful gist @mikejolley. How to resume those email notifications? i.e:

`if( $pause_emails ) {

add_action( 'woocommerce_email', 'unhook_those_pesky_emails' );

} else {

add_action( 'woocommerce_email', 'hook_those_pesky_emails' );

}`

I believe the optimal solution is instead to use the 'woocommerce_email_enabled_' . $this->id filter.

If you are using WooCommerce Multilingual you need to remove the WCML hooks (only for admin Emails).

// For WooCommerce Multilingual
add_action( 'woocommerce_email', 'unhook_those_pesky_emails' );
function unhook_those_pesky_emails( $email_class ) {
    global $woocommerce_wpml;
    $class = $woocommerce_wpml->emails;
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_pending_to_completed_notification', array( $class, 'new_order_admin_email' ), 9 );
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_pending_to_processing_notification', array( $class, 'new_order_admin_email' ), 9 );
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_pending_to_on-hold_notification', array( $class, 'new_order_admin_email' ), 9 );
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_pending_to_on-hold_notification', array( $class, 'new_order_admin_email' ), 9 );

}
