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)?

That is correct, but Mr. Wing's original message implied that all of them would be online at the same time or offline at the same time.


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

You would have to run it twice initially to get all the accounts disabled; after that, it would toggle all the accounts together.
