I have downloaded Thunderbird and linked it to my gmail account via IMAP. Now I want to remove Thunderbird from my computer, but keep all the emails on my gmail account. How do I make sure I won’t loose any emails in gmail?

Uninstalling Thunderbird on your computer won't impact what's on the server.
