Tor and Thunderbird: Outgoing Email Unsafe?

[Job]

ps: am i correct that if i use a webbased email account(for example 
gmail) without pop3 and I use (Torified)Firefox to acces it I CAN send 
emails out without the receiver being able to see my personal IP etc?
I dont mind of they se my email address ofcourse as they need that to 
reply to me, just dont want them to be able to view my info.

Thanks!
