I would definitely recommend using a mail server for this... On one of 
your Ubuntu machine, setup courrier-imap or dovecot and fetchmail...

That's the way I'm doing it for years now and I haven't got any problems...

Basically, fetchmail will get the e-mails from your ISP (pop3) and your 
thunderbirds will connect to your imap server
