 * If the `English` is used and german date formating is wished, check: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-date-time-formats-thunderbird

   * In config editor (`Edit > Preferences > Search: config > Config Editor`) set:

     * `intl.date_time.pattern_override.date_short` - `dd.MM.yyyy`

= Probleme =

== 3.5.23 / CR / Zugriff collected Adresse & Abfrage nach Passwort ==

 * After a NFS server problem (on TL), several user complain about broken Thunderbird configuration.
 * One user reports that the collected addresses not available anymore
 * Other user reports that they have to supply their passwort frequently, even if they activate 'save password'.
 * Solution: start `clean-firefox-thunderbird.sh` - this will restore the latest settings from the last snapshot.
