Mozilla will use your "locale" - the *nix environment variable for nationalized
settings, to decide which time format to use. The locale setting for date and
time is LC_TIME. So add for instance this to your .bashrc or whatever rc file
that match your default shell:

export LC_TIME="en_GB"

and hours in mail will behave as desired on next startup from a shell where the
variable is set.
