Hello, It is strange but Thunderbird (45.5.1) somehow has been "locked" to US time ignoring my timezone changes (EU-Athens) on preferences. My OS is Fedora25 and the system is adjusted on the correct time. The files on folders are having the correct creation time. So all work fine except the timestamp of messages in Thunderbird. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance! Nodas

What is the TZ environment variable on your Fedora set to? I have no interest in the time it displays, only that is is set correctly. It should be set to GR
