I’m not sure where to set the clock or point the clock parameter in TB, but times for receiving messages have always read eight hours ahead of my actual time since installing 12.2 which I have set with UTC. The clocks in UTC and local time are in sync and correct, so I’m not sure what TB is pointing at. Could someone please tell me where is the setting in TB for pointing it at the correct time? Thanks in advance!
I’m not sure where you are looking. Is this from a header in the message itself?

Thunderbird should display the time and date as specified by the
variable “LC_TIME”. Check the value with the CLI command “locale”. The
desktop time format is ignored.

I don’t normally use thunderbird, though I do have it installed.
To test, I examined a few messages in thunderbird.
The time/date shown with each message in thunderbird is same time/date as on the “Date:” header line in the raw message, except that it has been converted to the local timezone.
To examine a raw message, enter CTRL-U while thunderbird has that message open.
Example: A message that I am looking at has a “Date:” header
Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 16:43:58 -0500
That’s Eastern time (New York time), as the “-500” indicates.
Thunderbird is showing for that message: “02/26/2013 03:43 PM”
My timezone is: US/Central
The system clock is set to UTC, but system time zone is US/Central, as shown by the output of the “date” command.

Carlos mentions local. That is set by
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
which affects the formatting of the time, but not the time zone used.
Maybe the originator of this thread should show:
- Output of the “date” command (put in a code box)
- The date of a thunderbird message (copy/paste from the display)
- The “Date:” header of that message (put in a code box).
That will help us to see what, if anything, might be wrong.

You are right. It would be the TZ variable, then, if defined. Else, the
system setting for what is “local” time. Ie, the same as the “date”
command in the CLI as you used.
Anyway, AFAIK thunderbird would ignore KDE definition of the desktop
clock, as it is a GTK app, and these tend to use the user variables instead.

Thanks to all for your replies. The out of sync times of which I refer are in the subject window. Upon further examination of the headers, it seems that TB is latching onto local times of origin of each message and displaying them in the subject window in order of their time zone/origins.
I sent a message to myself to see that I rec'd it in sync to my PC's clock. Then there are messages that I already received which I displayed according to their dates. The following are delivery dates from 3 message headers displayed after my message.
2: Delivery dates:
Fri, 01 Mar 2013 11:16:45 +0000 <-correct time (a message I sent to myself)
Fri, 01 Mar 2013 06:18:26 -0500

Is there a setting that allows my subject window to display messages according to my time when I rec'd messages rather than the originating servers of those messages?
[quote="nrickert,post:4,topic:87465"]
Maybe the originator of this thread should show:
1. Output of the "date" command (put in a code box)
1. The date of a thunderbird message (copy/paste from the display)
1. The "Date:" header of that message (put in a code box).
That will help us to see what, if anything, might be wrong.

I don’t know of a setting to do that. However, I am not a Thunderbird expert, as I normally use different mail software.
I found a discussion elsewhere that is similar:
Thunderbird Received Date
It doesn’t really answer your question, and it might be out of date by now. But you might be interested in the discussion.

Not for me. I’m using right now thunderbird 17.0.3, and the time
displayed is in my local time, not that of the email originator.

All the times are correct, different time zones. More or less the same
moment.

I had to edit it.

If you want to track when an email was sent, check the “Received”
headers, they track the sites it passed and when. Plus the “Date” header
which reflects the time it was sent by the sender software.
