I am about to close my gmail acct. Will linking my acct to thunderbird before I close it, allow me to access these e mails after my acct is closed?

You can set-up your Gmail account as an IMAP account in Thunderbird and then move all messages off of the server to your Thunderbird Local Folders account.
