A solution to the initial problem:
mkdir -p ~/bin
vim ~/bin/thunderbird
'''#!/bin/bash
echo "executing $0 with: $@"
LC_TIME=nl_NL.utf8 /usr/bin/thunderbird $@
'''
Restart your shell.
Done!
Your ~/.profile will include ~/bin/ in $PATH and your system will prefer
the new thunderbird executable over the one in /usr/bin/.
If not add the following to your ~/.profile
'''# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi'''

Title:
thunderbird does not use the init.d directory in .mozilla-thunderbird
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
Because my thunderbird did not display my date and time as I wanted, I
created a init.d/S00Locale file as described on
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Change_the_Date_Format
Unfortunately that only worked after I created a shortlink from
~/.thunderbird to ~/.mozilla-thunderbird, so apparently thunderbird does not
honor the init.d directory in .mozilla-thunderbird.
Contents of S00Locale:
unset LC_ALL
export LC_TIME=nl_NL.utf8
