I have:
LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 I've never set that in my outermost shell. In fact the outermost shell that starts Thunderbird (as well as Firefox and others) gives: anton@main:~> date Wed Aug 8 11:34:30 EDT 2018 The date command output is barely affected by the locale, so you can not check the settings using "date".
and I'd be happy with that. So something is wrong inside T'Bird. No, its' not Thunderbird.
I think I found the solution to your 'problem' and it all has to do with the Regional Settings in Settings>System Settings.
In the FORMATS under Regonal Settings engage "Detailed settings" then in the TIME setting select "Canada (moh_CA)". [Don't worry that at the bottom, in the DESCRIPTION part, it shows the date stamp as year/month/date.]
After you have made this change, REBOOT then look in Thunderbird to see what is the date format. IF you don't see date/month/year then play around in this Settings section -- I don't know which setting you have for the "Region" for example; I have it set to 'Australia - Australian English (en_AU)' [##] but in TB get different date formats by changing the TIME option. Surely not reboot. Just exit the session and restart.
Whatever.
I also assume that you are changing the session locale properties. I have to edit the locale variables in bash directly because I use XFCE, which inherits the BASH locale from outside. And, Thunderbird reads the locale, whoever sets it, the session or bash.
[##] If I change this to read 'Australia (wbp_AU)' my date format changes to year/month/date.
If you change the settings in a terminal, and then from that terminal start thunderbird, it shows the changes. Easily seen in the date column of the message list display.
Changing the locale in a terminal does not propagate to the current session.
