I was always confused with Thunderbird's way of showing when a message was received or sent. There was no date included. If a message was sent on a particular day, it would only show the time it was sent, but not the date. That information was included the following day. When I looked at that Date column, it looked incomplete. Today I found out that there is an extension that enables the configuration of the date information. The name of the extension is ConfigDate 0.3.0 written by Alexander Ihrig released on August 22, 2005.


Quick Description:

In Thunderbird many people are confused because of the missing date from today's messages in the date column. By using ConfigDate, you're able to choose out of five (5) different date formats. Note: - The five (5) date formats are given by Thunderbird itself. - The date formats are depending on your systems/regions setting, too (e.g.: "25.08.2005 15:54" in Germany or "2005/08/25 15:54" in US).

I just installed ConfigDate and it works flawlessly. I prefer the long date; i.e. Sunday, August 28, 2005 - 11:34 AM, but there are other options as well. If you were missing this feature, now you have it. The download link is:
