If you use IMAP or a gmail account, the e-mails will be stored on the
server and you can get them from there when you get back home. If you use
POP3, most e-mail clients and most servers support leaving the mail on the
server after fetching, so you can fetch them again when you get back home.
In neither case will you need to copy the e-mails from the Android device
to your computer, just leave them on the server and fetch them with
Thunderbird when you get back home.
