Thunderbird mail date Time Format - newtusmaximus - 05-19-2014

Help Please Sad

Have clock on desktop showing dd/mm/yyyy and time 24hrs bottom right hand side screen, Task Bar ?

However saved mail record on Thunderbird has mm/dd/yyyy.  On Thunderbird Help it states that TB takes time from the PC's clock

What have i done wrong.  Is there any way I can change this? Don't want to have to reinstall.

Thanks.

Hello!

So, do you want it to appear as dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy? Usually, mail clients let you specify which way you want it to be in Preferences...

You can do it via locales but that is to long winded and may screw up existing menu entries. Get this plugin here - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/super-date-format/

After you've installed it go to Edit, Preferences in Thunderbird. Click on Display, then the Date Format tab. Copy in the following string:

Code:
%d/%m/%Y   %I:%M %p

into the Date Format box.

Then go to the Date Format Preferences tab and tick the 2 boxes there.

You may have to restart Thunderbird to see the new date time format.
