OK. That shows that setting the LC_TIME to a DK setting will change Evo
to display everything in 24 hr settings including the email notices. So
that's a good thing. Now I just have to do a little more research on how
to get it set to a permanent setting without screwing up all of your
extra language settings. Note: that setting should not/would not have
changed your french keyboard setting that I know of. My guess is that
perhaps the Thunderbird setting may have. Perhaps you can reverse
whatever you did in TB and that will resolve that problem.

LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 /usr/bin/evolution
simply tells your system to run evolution using that LC setting while it
is running. As you saw, when Evolution quit (or crashed -- it should not
have), the am/pm settings returned as it then returned to
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" when the application quit.

As for time being Jeruselem time; that setting should remain the same,
and did according to your test. LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 /usr/bin/evolution
would not have changed your system setings. Also, I know of no LC_
locale settings for Israel/Jeruselem (maybe Dotan from this list can
help there).

I'm currently doing 8.04.1 upgrades tonight for others, so it may take
me some time to research the LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 etc permanent
settings... perhaps others on the list can assist in the interim? Either
way I will get back to you on this.
