This sounds like something that happened at the window manager level,
not within Thunderbird itself. Some window managers have features that
allow you to make a window "full screen" (with or without including a
title bar), or to make the window go "full screen but only vertically".
I'm not familiar with your Desktop Environment -- was it MATE? Trinity?
It would help if you remind us which one it is, on this machine.
I thought it was xfce4, but htop can't find it, there is a few gdm
entries though. Thanks
Hold down Alt then left-click anywhere on a window. Now you can move the
window anywhere.
Hold down Alt then right-click anywhere on a window. Now you can resize the
window.

If it's not XFCE, then perhaps there is a button on the title bar of
your Thunderbird window that can shrink it back to "not full screen"
size. It might be denoted by a large square. Usually a button like
that is a toggle, which switches between the two sizes, so pressing it
when it's in the vertically-enlarged size might return it to normal.
Otherwise, you may have to consult your window manager's documentation.
