How to configure 24 hour time, instead of AM/PM, in Thunderbird
62.2.0 nd/or 62.2.2.
I found this advice on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1228724
An option under "Tools > Options, Advanced, General" now allows to
select whether date/time display will follow the application locale
(adjusted by operating system's format settings for that locale) or the
locale selected in the operating system's regional settings. In other
words, an US English Thunderbird can use, for example, German formats.
.
It appears Thunderbird 68.2.2 does not have "Tools > Options." I don't
see Options anywhere? So I will work my way through the remaining
suggestions ...
24 hour time seems like sucb a basic need, always wondered why it
wasn''t included as an option from the beginning with the earliest
computers? There must be some insurmountable difficulty in adding that
as an option.
There has been a Config Date and time AddOn that added a GMT offset
number to a displayed sender's time which I always looked at when
reading messages. That seems unavailable now, my Fedora-29 system still
has all this stuff. Anyway I find 24 hour time less confusing than the
AM/PM format.
Thanks for the help, Bob

I had LANG and LC_ALL set to a language where time is 24h format, but I
switched to english because I don't want messages in that language. I
was faced with a 12h-time format everywhere. If I remember correctly,
unset LC_ALL in .bashrc helped here.Changed desktop launcher's command string from
/opt/thunderbird/thunderbird
to
env LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8 /opt/thunderbird/thunderbird
relaunch Thunderbird, and it seems to have worked.
Are any of them any help?
