Go into Tools > Options
Make sure you are in the General tab
Uncheck the box labelled:
When Thunderbird launches, show the Start Page in the message area

I'm running on a Mac, and there is NO Tools -> Options... it's under Preferences, and it already is UN-checked... – user81502 May 16 '11 at 13:52

Try setting the location of the start page to about:blank – Dan Walker May 16 '11 at 14:09
