I want to be able to leave Apple Mail running, but suspend its checking and sending mail, which is what the Go Online and Go Offline menu commands do.

This will achieve the same effect:

tell application "Mail"
	repeat with thisAccount in accounts
		set enabled of thisAccount to not enabled of thisAccount
	end repeat
end tell

But, wouldn't this take some accounts offline (those that are online) and take others online (those that are offline)?
Aren't you wanting something like Mail's "Take All Accounts ..." menu items? But, these are not directly scriptable!


So, what about this ...

property lineStatus : false
set lineStatus to not lineStatus
tell application "Mail"
	repeat with thisAccount in accounts
		set enabled of thisAccount to lineStatus
	end repeat
end tell
