No. Thunderbird's just a reader. It needs to connect to an imap server.

Which IMAP server have you installed?

Build that up first, then everyone, no matter what os or email client can read their mail from anywhere. If you're after info on doing this, let me know, as I sort of do it for a living! Hope this has given you a few pointers at least! Steve.
