Why you’d want to do this I can’t fathom - the data detectors are probably the best feature in Mail - but you can turn off the little pop-up windows that appear when you hover over dates, addresses, and contacts in the application. Go to your terminal and type:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableDataDetectors YES
Then restart Mail. You should be a happier, if spiritually poorer, person.
