There is no such thing as a 'Thunderbird account'. You've set up an account with an email provider, e.g. Gmail or Yahoo. You told Thunderbird to retrieve/send mail for that account from/to your email provider's server.

If you do have an Outlook.com account you can set it up on whatever device you want. When accessing the same account from multiple devices IMAP is the preferred choice.

It would certainly help if you could use proper punctuation in your post. It makes your post easier to read.
