Date formats and displays incorrectly

Please see my screen grab. This is how the date displays on my Mac in all system-related apps -- mail, notifications, etc. It renders my Inbox unusable when I'm trying to find emails. Can anyone help me fix this?

Global date and time settings incorrect for apps and emails. Hi there, We have just purchased a brand new iMac and are finding the inability to get the date and time correct for the applications. For example when we open up Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail the dates on the email are saying yesterday when they should say todays date. I thought to correct this I would goto the region but it doesn't seem to give the option in macOS Ventura. Can anyone please assist with this?

Why are there erroneous dates on the middle column view for Sent mailbox ? Hi! I'm trying to move email into folders to export mboxes and in order to select the precise emails that I want to move, I sort the box where they are located by date (either "oldest" or "newest" in the View > Sort by in the Apple Mail menu bar. When I do so, I see the a lot (meaning over 50) of my emails have the wrong date and can be verified that they are wrong when you double click to open the email and then see the correct entire date (say actually 2016 for year). I assume there's an indexing issue, but in Apple Mail Ventura, how to I fix this? I can't find how to rebuild the box where the orignal emails are located. If there's another reason, I'm all eyes for instructions on how to fix this error. This may also be occurring for other types of mailboxes, but I haven't the time to confirm.

In Sys Prefs>Language & Region>Advanced>Dates, you can edit that there, or highlight the 9 & drag it between the two //s.
