Being completely honest, this is unlikely to ever become an option in the main Thunderbird code. The UI is moving towards more different kinds of tabs, not fewer.
Fortunately, all the hooks should be there for an extension to offer this. If someone wants to develop that extension, and finds things missing, _please_ file bugs, and cc me, and I'll help get them fixed.

Set Tools > Options > Advanced > Reading & Display > Open messages in to 'A new message window' and 2. Open the config editor (about:config) (press Alt+C), and set 'mail.tabs.autoHide' to true. Now the only things that will open in a tab are the Calendar, and GLODA search results (which I don't use either). --------------------------------------- Binary package hint: thunderbird I couldn't find the option which disable the use of the tabs into Thunderbird. The new Thunderbird version is wasting space in height by using this tab.
