I have a pop gmail account and a pop tbird encoding. How to synchronize? must I use the IMAP protocol?

I had Tbird for over a decade and have used gmail as just a place to store a copy of the messages that I receive in my application tbird. I put it in place so that some e-mails are received in tbird will also be presented in gmail. The two accounts are accounts pop.
(1) what would be the advantage of evolution for IMAP accounts?
(2) how can I take the emails the Tbird files and copy them to similar called folders in Gmail?

Go back to it before...

(2) why did you do that? Your answer may well influence the response (1).

In Thunderbird, you can drag and drop messages and perhaps records too, between accounts. (But I heard bad things that happens when the files are moved. In some cases, it seems that they retained their allegiance to the original account of what they were dragged.) I wonder what advantage you ask for messages moved or copied in different folders? Your two accounts being focused on POPS, everything in Thunderbird is local and does not affect what's on email servers, so I'm intrigued by your use of an e-mail account separated as 'a place to store copies of the messages that I receive in my tbird application. " If messages are displayed that in Thunderbird, what's the point?

IMAP makes more sense if you want to access your account from multiple computers or devices or through a web browser. Your use of POP made appear an unlikely requirement for you. But if you want to build a system of complex file stored outside, useful as a backup against the local hardware failures, or because you want to be accessed from more than one device, then IMAP is the only way to see the folders on the server. POP shows you only the account Inbox. He cannot see the other folders on the e-mail server.
