There does not appear to be any way of making Akregator show dates in a way that isn't all handholding and dumbed down, and in turn overly complicated and difficult to use. Date columns with entries within the last couple of days say "today" and "yesterday", and then have day names instead back over a week, and then the actual date numbers. This wall of mixed information presentation is hard to work with and unintuitive - there are three different contexts to think about when looking for a past thing from a KDE list. And then if an entry in a list is from the future, even if still today (when other content is labelled as "Today"), the proper date and time is shown, just as they are for >week old things. I've looked through the QT4 config and KDE config but cannot find anything helpful. Well, I can, but the options that seem relevant have no bearing: in KDE's settings, country/region and language, date and time tab, changing the long date format doesn't tidy the date list up. But then again because of the three types of presentation of information I don't actually know what I should be looking for! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Have some RSS entries across a range of dates (a month or so), look at the dates and see what a mess of presentation they are. Expected Results: Just show the bloody date and time! Perhaps as the global KDE settings dictate?
In Kontact 5.0.2 here, the Date's are in back-to-front american (MM/DD/YY) further back than a week, despite my date and time settings being for the UK (DD/MM/YY) defaults. There's no GUI in the Akregator settings to alter this, and it's clearly not getting it from the main KDE settings either.
