I understand your frustration — I've similarly been bitten by some changes to Firefox; however please do remember that Thunderbird is developed by a small team with limited funds and adding or even maintaining configurability is expensive. That isn't to say that you should give to thunderbird, since they are currently disappointing you, but it is a bit of a vicious cycle.

Well, not exactly, because while it was on low-effort maintenance mode, there was no such changes; it was just doing the same job in the same way since forever. Problems arose when a new team with a new mission, new funding, and worst of all, "new" ideas ("new" being the same fate other pieces of software underwent in the last decade: inserting more web tech, changing the look into something more modern, i.e. more web-like), became active.
