Er, all email clients save account details, etc. They just do it

Which can store two or more different profiles, each with its own
accounts, etc. Profiles can be reused not only in different instances of
TB, and on different PCs, they can be reused on TB running on different
operating systems.

I can confirm that, if you consider Win 7 and Win 8 as different
operating systems. I regularly copy my profile from my big laptop to
my small one, and everything works the same on both.

Now, if there were just some way to tell Thunderbird that I want to
leave all my online mail on line, and NOT have it copied to my PC.
You'd think that would be simple, but if there's any way at all I've
failed to discover it.

Sounds to me like something IMAP does. Does Thunderbird not have IMAP
capability?

It does have IMAP.
