How do I get Thunderbird to return to the original email I have just read in a new window?
After I have read an email in a new window and close it down instead of highlighting the email I have just read Thunderbird highlights any other email and not even the next one in time order. How can I get Thunderbird to return to and highlight the email I have just read?

When you select an email and open it in tab or window and then close the tab or window, thunderbird should still be on the email you last opened because no other was selected. However, if you open an email in another window and then delete or move that email, thunderbird will auto close the window and auto select the next email which was above the deleted email; assuming you are viewing using sort order date, descending and unthreaded. So it will be of a more recent date. If the sort was threaded then the next selected email will be the one above, which may not necessarilly be the more recent date depending upon how the thread is contructed; it may contain subthreads.
If Thunderbird is behaving differently and you have not selected any keys to make it act on another instruction, then test running thunderbird in Safe Mode. Help > Restart with Addons Disabled.
