As Walt has said, you can add multiple accounts through Thunderbird, so you can decide to either leave or remove the Gmail account and add the his.com acccount as another account. You have to pay a bit of attention when composing messages to make sure that they send from the proper account, but this is something Thunderbird handles quite nicely. I suggest always using IMAP rather than POP and doing so over an encrypted connection. The "Account Settings" menu item is usually in the "Tools" dropdown menu and that's where you'll add other email addresses (or other accounts such as a CalDAV server or corporate address book).
