Why you’d want to do this I can’t fathom - the data detectors are probably the ideal feature in Mail - but you can turn off the tiny 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
