Desk- turn off notifications to users when deactivated

Desk- turn off notifications to users when deactivated

I've just been told by support that this is not possible.
Please consider this a feature request- if I am deactivating clients who haven't worked with me for years, I DO NOT want them to be notified by email, and it's incredible that we are unable to turn off or suppress the notifications.

Original request-
A client has left our service, now I need to deactivate all the Users on that account.
BUT- When I go to 
Setup/ Help Centre/ Users
Click a User and Click the 'Active' check mark to de-activate them, 
they are sent an email to let them know

I need to de-activate these users WITHOUT notifying them.

How can I do this please?

Although we built this just for that little extra flexibility, in hindsight, it hasn't figured much in conventional usage.  Almost all businesses prefer that responses to their customers' tickets be sent from the common support/service email address and NOT from those of individual agents.
