log into multiple google account in thunderbird

What information I might leak to google server if I issue log into multiple google account in thunderbird? ip of course but what else might be collected? It would be really great if someone could clarify whether the information below will be send to google when using their email service even through Thunderbird

device name
device model
...

My main concern is that google will be able to know that I have logged into the same device with different accounts.

In addition, I plan to use VPN when using one google account but not the others. This can be achieved through profiling, but is there an option that I can simply manage all the accounts in one app but without my ip address being collected by several specific email service provider corresponding to several specific email?

thanks a lot!

If you're using IMAP, it would just be sending account credentials from your IP, but X sequential IMAP logins in a row from one IP would suggest one person in 2025, since everyone is using apps.
