Change locale of thunderbird

Hi,

so I set up arch and used the en_US.UTF-8 locale. I installed thunderbird and set it up. Now I change it to

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_CH.UTF-8

but Thunderbird doesn't care. The wanted loclaes are generated and I restarted/relogged several times. My guess is, that Thunderbird picket the locale up at installation time and then set it local settings.

How can I properly change it? I want to have the following date format: dd/mm/yyy and I want a 24h clock and not the US 12h clock.
