I used the following command to set 24h time format in Thunderbird. $ LC_TIME=de_DE.utf8 thunderbird
This command doesn't work for me.
With Thunderbird 60 setting the LC_TIME or LANG variables will not help. Can someone confirm this?I can't confirm anything but this bug report https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1426907 looks both pertinent, and, after a cursory read (recent posts re 60 toward the bottom), discouraging concerning your plight (at least for the moment).Thanks for the hint to that bug id. I had to set the "Date and Time Formatting" option (exists since TB version 56) in the Advanced Preferences AND the variable LC_TIME when starting Thunderbird to get it working.

The date and time option for me has two choices: Application locale: English (United States) Regional settings locale: English (Canada)The result for me is the same for both. It is the ISO 8601 format for the date, but for time the format is 12 hour plus AM/PM.
How did you manage to the ISO 8601 time format be setting the LV_TIME format?
