I'm on the go a lot, and need email access via my iphone 6s. Is there a way to do that directly (I didn't see a Thunderbird app in the store), or can you suggest an app that will do the trick? Thanks.

You don't need Thunderbird. Just use whatever mail app is offered on the iPhone. As an example, on my Android phone, there is a default Gmail app which while being aimed at working with gmail accounts is perfectly competent to work with accounts offered by other providers.

What you do need is to make sure that whatever you use to read emails leaves a copy on the server so that the message is available to your other device(s). IMAP is best suited to this, but most POP clients can be set to leave a copy.
