Thunderbird shows wrong time in date column with correct date header

Arch Linux, TB 60.0

In the date column of any folder in any mail account the date is shown incorrectly (-1h). The date and received headers are correct for all mails and the date is correctly shown in the preview pane. I would say that TB does not add the DST, because my timezone is CEST (+0200), but the date is shown for (+0100).

Settings: Regional settings locale for date and time formatting with: LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_TIME=de_DE.utf8

Things I have already tried: - Date() in the JavaScript console shows the correct time and date - Changing the display format to application locale does nothing except now I can see the wrong time in an am/pm format - Setting mailnews.customDBHeaders to 'Received' did not change anything

Try exporting your TZ variable in .pam_environment and do NOT include "/usr/share/zoneinfo", just the zone/subzone.

So, for your specific set up, try adding this to your ~/.pam_environment: TZ=:Europe/Berlin

Another option that should work is to add "export TZ=:Europe/Berlin" to your launcher for Thunderbird.

I assume the package maintainer for Arch Linux will probably find some way to not need this workaround at some point.

Edited to include colon when TZ is pointed to a zoneinfo file per https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/TZ-Variable.html

check the TZ environment variable.

timedatectl status gives me:

Local time: So 2018-08-12 10:18:46 CEST
Universal time: So 2018-08-12 08:18:46 UTC
RTC time: So 2018-08-12 08:18:51
Time zone: Europe/Berlin (CEST, +0200)

and echo $TZ shows

/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
