Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.

How can I get the main mail window show up in the ordinary window instead of the side window?

You need to check the bookmark that you use to open that email page.

It is likely that this bookmark has a check-mark to load in the sidebar.
