Hi, since some time the "date" column of my inbox or any other box does not show time or date for any other day than today. It is simply empty. The time shows for emails received today as usual. I'm using an IMAP server on Windows 10. The full header of the emails does contain date and time if download to thunderbird. I did try the following without success rebuild inbox.msf (all) restart in safe mode and repair inbox (all add-ons disabled) click the date column off and on again switch to received date

I still can sort the emails by date, so apparently TB can read it but does not show it. Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Best uli

I just found it per chance! For reasons unknown my locale had changed to "Nigeria" (never been there). Corrected this and restarted - dates are back.
