Just a newbie user's review:

I have a webshop that works with only 1 payment type: cash on delivery. So all new orders get their status automatically changed from 'awaiting payment' to 'processing' which generates an email sent to the user.

And I needed to disable all other event hooks (that typically send more emails) except for this one. So I thought that commenting out line 16 would do the job, but it appeared that line 24 also needed to be commented out.

Also, seems like there exist more email-related hooks than the listed ones: woocommerce has more statuses then there are available on the order list page: if you go to a page of a specific order - you'll see 2 drop down lists that represent the order status. I don't know the difference between them, but they seem to have equal meaning yet they do not synchronize.

p.s.: wordpress 4.6.1, woocommerce 2.6.4.

p.p.s.: turns out there are GUI-settings to do the same: the page is located here: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=email

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' );

}`

Answer to my question above. https://gist.github.com/ahmu83/e6e8aa2febc1b89f9ecb2deff6e4616b

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 );

}

How can i remove the emails going to admin email, I don't want to change the admin email so is there any way?
