Thunderbird email
Not exactly , when I delete a message on my other computer or my phone they are not deleted on my Win 11 computer . My phone and Win7 computer seem act as if they are connected , my win 11 computer doesn't know that emails were read or deleted on the other system . Yahoo email seems to work across all , just not Thunderbird .

What you are describing sounds like one computer (not synchronizing) is configured to use the POP protocol and the others (synchronizing) are configured to use IMAP. That is essentially how each protocol works.
Despite the world thinking in terms of email being this homogeneous thing, it is a collection of standards that interact and offer very different experiences depending on user choice. When the user is not aware they are making these choices, confusion reigns supreme.
That is some useful information . I did not see options to choose IMAP/POP I guess the computer made the choice . So I have two questions , is one better than the other and 2 , how do I change from one system to the other ?
Thanks ! Ken
