someone got access to my other email accounts and synced it with thunderbird. If they uninstall Thunder bird and re install it, will the email account be removed from thunderbird or will it still be in it?

Uninstalling Thunderbird will not remove the profile. You'd need to deliberately delete the profile. The easiest way to do this is to use the profile manager.

So, if they re install Thunderbird, the emails will still show?
