Mail no longer can connect to any of my mail accounts

For the last two weeks or so I have had a weird issue with Mail. It tells me it's unable to connect to either of my email accounts (verizon and gmail) and takes both offline.

For a while restarting the MacBook seemed to fix this some of the time. I have gone through and rechecked all the passwords, etc. and I can get at my mail accounts through Safari using the verizon.net and gmail.com browser interfaces.

The verizon account is POP and gmail is IMAP, so it's apparently not related to the mail protocol.

This has gone from merely annoying to a serious problem.

Any ideas?

MBP 2.26G Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, Mac OS X (10.6.5), Mail 4.4 (1082)
