In Thunderbird, how do I change the date format for the column display?
I want the date to show as DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM AM/PM. Although this should be really obvious (and I know I've done it in the past), I can't find where to do this and can't find anything in Thunderbird Help on this, not even when I search "Thunderbird, change date format".

Unfortunately, this doesn't help me - I don't mess with code. I'm on my mom's Mac Book and did this a few weeks ago for her but don't remember where. It didn't involve any coding, just semi-user-friendly changes (as with most Mac software, it's semi-user-friendly at best). I've checked every option in Thunderbird Preferences including under Services>Service Preferences>System Preferences which allowed me to change the format under View>Date & Time but it didn't take effect, even when I closed Thunderbird and reopened it.
Sorry - forgot to say "thanks" for the very quick reply!
Thunderbird usually uses the computer date and time and settings. I'm using Windows and notice that TB is using the short date format which I set up under Regional & Language Options.
Are you using the International settings or Date/Time settings? It should pick up the settings from the 'International' or maybe its called now called 'Language & Text' setting.
not sure which of these suits your macbook: http://www.macyourself.com/2008/08/31/modify-the-default-clock-in-os-xs-menu-bar-to-show-the-full-date/
