Once you've created a gmail account you can set it in Thunderbird as
an imap type account and create various sub folders to sort the mail,
then forward to the gmail account from your machines.
each time you log onto ThunderB the gmail will down load to your local
machine
The only problems I have with this are; that emails you send are kept
locally unless you specifically upload them to gmail and of course
your emails belong to Google (read the eula)

I'm the other way around. I use Thunderbird to collect mail from 3 of my
email accounts.
In the past I used Thunderbird as a common email client on a dual boot
computer. The restriction here was that I had to have the Thunderbird
mail stored on a Microsoft compatible partition (probably fat32). That
was a few versions of Kubuntu back though. I do remember that the
address book was NOT common in this case. The XP side had a different
address book to the Kubuntu side.
Gemma, with your setup, do you have the same address book on all
machines? My Android tablet has downloaded my gmail contacts to the
contact application.
