Hello,

The list of messages contained in a folder display the date as month/day/year which is not convenient for me. How can I change that ?

I tried to use LC_TIME but it's not working...

thanks for your help

You can ADD this entry to the config editor: 

  intl.date_time.pattern_override.date_short

Select the string option and then enter your preferred format, e.g., yyyy-mm-dd Save it. You may need to restart TB. If dates do no change immediately, reenter config editor to confirm or edit to ensure it shows as desired.

Thanks David for so quick reply. This config editor is awesome !

For anyone else interested, the month in date format is MM. mm stand for minutes.
