Date format doesn't match localization setting. Showing Thai date (10/4/2557) instead of US date (4/10/2014)
I just installed Thunderbird on Kubuntu 14.04. My message list is incorrectly showing the year in the Thai format. (2557 instead of 2014) My local is set to En_US. I tried downloading an addon to set the format manually. Nowhere else is the system showing the year in this format. My clock is set to the Bangkok time zone as I live in Thailand. Thanks for your help!

In theory, Thunderbird uses your system's Short Date format (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Date_display_format). So you should not see an inconsistency with other applications using that format.
I searched a bit and came up with only one suggestion: double check the Time & Dates tab in regional settings: http://www.kubuntu.org/docs/kquickguide/C/ch03s07.html#regional-country
Thanks for the reply. Time and Dates in the regional settings look good. If you look at the bottom right corner of the attached screenshot you can see that I have en_US locale selected yet the date is showing up as 2557 instead of 2014.
in the absence of anything else, you could try set the "LC_TIME" environment variable (for example, "LC_TIME=en_GB") Thunderbird "should" be using the locale but is obviously not.
