By default Thunderbird might display date as per system date format which is not easy to set graphically in Linux. To display date in other formats eg DD/MM/YYYY using thunderbird use following steps:

  1. Create file '/etc/profile.d/date-format.sh' with following contents:
    #!/bin/bash
    export LC_TIME=en_DK
  2. Make file executable
    chmod +x /etc/profile.d/date-format.sh
  3. Logout and login
  4. Start thunderbird and verify the date format used for displaying dates
