How to correct Thunderbird date format.

I have tried all the recommended methods to alter the display of dates in my Thunderbird inbox but cannot alter the format as short. It is very inconvenient not to see the correct Day number.

There is a lot of info available on date formats (probably too much.). I found three sites:

https://kb.mozillazine.org/Date_display_format

https://enterprise.thunderbird.net/manage-updates-policies-and-customization/thunderbird-preferences-enterprise/customize-thunderbirds-date-and-time-formats

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-date-time-formats-thunderbird

Maybe if you describe the attempts you made, and show the desired format, someone may have suggestions. Thank you
