It wasn't visible for me either until I dragged and dropped the Mail Views 
widget on the Toolbar using the Customize Toolbars feature.

I found this in the Thunderbird 2 release notes/Known Issues:

 > The mail views toolbar button is no longer a default toolbar button. Users of 
this feature must add it back to their default toolbar in the mail 3-pane 
window: View / Toolbars / Customize.

 From my testing, putting the Mail Views dropdown button on the toolbar makes 
the View->Messages menu item appear. Removing it makes the menu item disappear.
