Not available in WLM.

Change the format in Control Panel/Regional and Language Options
- look for the date format

Re: How do I change the date format to Day/Month/Year in mail?

I live in the UK. So for both of my computers (Win XP), I use
local Regional and Language settings. By default, most programs
(including Microsoft Office) recognize these settings and base
date display upon the European format (dd/mm/yyyy).

Unfortunately, WLMail gets confused. The latest version of the
program does use the correct spell-checker - and Message Lists
display dates correctly as dd/mm/yyyy. Consequently, messages
that sent today are listed as 01/06/2009. However, a Recovered
item in my Storage Folders was timed at 06-01-2009 10-19-52.
Schizophrenia rules, OK?.
