We still aren't communicating.

When you say 'depends on whether or not I have Tb open' you are 
referring to using both/either webmail or Tb client.

That isn't what I am objecting to.

I'm objecting to your saying POP and IMAP.  The gmail account is set as 
one or the other.  Any Tb account is one or the other.  Not either/or.

It is most likely that you are configured for a Tb IMAP account and so 
configured in the gmail webmail settings.

NOT POP.

So in that case the statement:

> I have my Gmail account set up as a POP3 on Thunderbird.

would be incorrect.

*OR*

It is also possible that you COULD have your gmail account set up as pop3.

In which case this statement would be incorrect:

> I can still access it online as an IMAP though.

You would have to say: "I can still access it online (PERIOD).  Not add 
'as an imap'.
