I've seen this problem myself quite a few times ... usually just closing and then relaunching PMMail will fix it - so to speak ...
What's strange to me is that I NEVER had this problem when I was using a dial-up connection ... now that I'm on DSL it's a everyday 
occurence ...

Also, I've noticed that the whole connection will occasionally just sort of die ... Verizon's solution is to power off the "modem" and then bring it 
back up ... even sometimes they've stated to shutdown and reboot ...

Well I'm here to tell you that's bullshit ...
Luckily for me I have a LinkSys DSL Router ... when the above occurs all I do is open the setup page builtin to the router and disconnect, then 
reconnect the PPPoE portion of the connection ... Fixes it EVERY time without fail ...

Don't know if that helps anyone ... but I hope so ...
