Quote from 1contract:

It is possible to use OE or Tbird with Gamil - alternatively just use web interface.

Everyone I know is happy to use the web interface.

Right - you can setup Thunderbird to get Gmail messages; and there is a nice add-on to allow you to sync the Thunderbird calendar your Google calendar.

Probably a silly question due to the file size, but here goes.

Is it possible to import all my thunderbird mail into Gmail.
and
do you know the location that thunderbird normals hides the mail.

many thanks

Why would Gmail be any different/better than Yahoo mail?

I'm not sure how you could import mail into Gmail; but here's where Thunderbird hides your mail: http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/edit.html#profile

> Is gmail secure or can google dip into your account and read the mail?

Can google dip into your account and read the email...I guess YES.

In that sense, anything on the web is readable by web administrators and database admins who are managing that particular server or database.

Only your home desktop is safe, so long no one intrudes into your computer [through internet] or physically.

But, I would say, people do not have time to read their own emails and, it is impossible to read other people's email. Admins are ethical and they have no time to sniff other peoples' emails, even if other people emails are embedded with millions-a-day trading plan.
