I have two computers using thunderbird for emails, as I intend updating the one of them that I get my main emails sent to I was wondering if when I have it offline would it be possible to get my emails using the other computer ( it is a Ubuntu computer.)

Are you using IMAP or POP? See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts

If you are using IMAP, you can access email from either computer and it will still be available on the other.

If you are using POP, you can specify to leave messages on the server. Otherwise, when you read a message on one, it will not be available on the other.
