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.

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?
