I am switching my ISP from Mediacom to Google Fiber. I have to establish a Gmail account and the Google guy told that Mediacom will terminate my email account with them when we make the switch. I have always accessed my email with Thunderbird and intend to continue to do so with my Gmail account. Do I need to save all my contacts and old emails for migration to Gmail, or are these stored locally with my Thunderbird account? If they are stored locally, then do I just connect my Gmail account to Thunderbird?

The answer here depends on if your mediacom mail is an IMAP account or POP.

POP is local storage, IMAP is not once the account closes.

Contact are generally stored locally, but they can be synced to say google contacts.

I would start by just adding your google gmail account to Thunderbird right now. you do not have to wait as Thunderbird can have loads of accounts configured, I have more than 20.

Once you have that up an running we can look at the rest of your needs.
