Chosen solution

New Message button is on the Mail Toolbar of the main window. Maybe you have lost your toolbars.

If you have no toolbars showing press the alt key to make the menu bar appear.

From the menu bar select View-Toolbars and turn on the missing toolbars.

The alt key or F10 will reveal hidden toolbars in most applications including Thunderbird.
