privacy issue log into multiple google account in thunderbird

What information I might leak to google server if I issue log into multiple google account in thunderbird? ip of course but what else might be collected? It would be really great if someone could clarify whether the information below will be send to google when using their email service even through Thunderbird

  • device name
  • device model

My main concern is that google will be able to know that I have logged into the same device with different accounts.

In addition, I plan to use VPN when using one google account but not the others. This can be achieved through profiling, but is there an option that I can simply manage all the accounts in one app but without my ip address being collected by several specific email service provider corresponding to several specific email?

thanks a lot!

Whatever you’re asking, you do not understand what you’re doing.

Your browser already has this information. If you’ve logged into Google anywhere there are a thousand different fingerprints left behind.

Thunderbird is the least of your worries

Here’s an article from 2004
