390583 2005-09-24 22:58:00 Is there a way to make the time of mail sent or received through evolution 24 hr instead of 2x12hr?

I'm running Evolution from KDE on a Mepis system

Everything else runs 24hr, but Evolutions Email dept. seems to have it's own thoughts on the matter. I did find somewhere settings to change time format for Evolutions calender function, but this doesn't seem to change the E-mail clients display. :confused:

390584 2005-09-25 06:27:00 I will have to check but this might be an easy trick for Thunderbird. :p :D FoxyMX (5)
390585 2005-09-25 06:58:00 And it does - time format by default seems to be as such: 25/09/05 17:24. :)

Can't see anywhere to change it so it's a good thing this format is acceptable here. :p

Feel like changing to TB now? :D

390588 2005-09-25 07:24:00 But can it import saved mail, settings, etc, from evolution?

Not that i'm unhappy with evolution, i'd just prefer a proper time format

390589 2005-09-25 07:36:00 So, changing the time format under Calendar > Edit > Preferences doesn't do anything? What about your system time set under KDE Control > System Admin? Are your timezones OK?

Rather strange, as my Evolution uses the 24hr clock by default.

390590 2005-09-25 07:57:00 Changing the calender settings did nothing to the Email client, and the rest of the machine is running on 24Hr time, i always set my machine that way as the hours i live tend to be all over the clock and 24Hr time is easier. Its only evolutions E-mail clint that won't play nice, even though the calender is happy to be running 24Hr time. :confused: :confused:

Perhaps i should update evolution?

390591 2005-09-25 08:40:00 I would be inclined to look towards Gnome settings rather than KDE's, seeing as its as Gnome/Gtk app.

Yes, AFAIK you can export from Evolution and re-import in to Thunderbird.

Yes, it appears that you can with a little effort, if you want to.
