How do I get Thunderbird to display Day-of-Week for all messages?

I have latest Thunderbird version (115.9.0 64bit) on fully patched Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.

I'm trying to get it to display Day-of-Week for old messages - is this possible? I have tried all sorts of combination as detailed HERE to no avail.

I'd like concise instructions on how to do this (if it can be done). I do not believe trying a new profile will work as I need to test this for old messages - at least for messages older than a week.

From the link above, I can the Day-of-Week to work for the current week - but that only displays the day and time. What I'm after is as shown in the attached Outlook screenshot. Also see the closest I can get that to match in the Thunderbird screenshot.

Thanks Matt, but that's the same link I posted in my question (maybe I shouldn't have hidden the link behind the word HERE) - been there and nothing seems to help.

I tried all suggestions there - other than creating a new profile - to no avail.
