If by deafult you mean that when you click on a mail link on websites, 
Evolution pops up, then you should reead the Ununtu User's Guide 
(http://ubuntuguide.org/). This can be fixed by going to Computer -> 
Desktop Preferences -> Preferred Applications.

Click on the Mail Reader Tab and then choose Custom Mail Reader. In the 
command field put in:

mozilla-thunderbird %s

Close the window, viola!

However if you mean that the icon for Evolution is showing on the panel, 
remove it and add the application Launcher for Thunderbird.

Hope this helps, and by using the guide and the forums as well as this 
list can help you out more.

Cheers.
