I want to be able to monitor all my incoming mail from Thunderbird when I am on the move and only have access to my GMail account. How to I set up a rule in Thunderbird which will allow me to do this?

You could set up a filter in Thunderbird: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/organize-your-messages-using-filters For example you could forward all incoming mail to another address, or place a copy of it in a folder in your Gmail account. However I'm a bit concerned by "when I am on the move". Thunderbird filters can only work while Thunderbird is running. So if you have Thunderbird installed on your PC at home, you would have to leave the PC running permanently while you are away: had you realised that? If that's not what you want to do, Gmail can automatically collect new mail from other accounts, or you may be able to forward mail automatically from other accounts to Gmail: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/21289?hl=en
