Interesting, I never tried to set another format for the index lines, I 
even didn't know that it's possible. I'm happy with the default for my 
PC Alpine.

In my case the date is displayed as
   MMM DD (like Aug 30)
for dates in the current year and
   DD.MM.YYYY (like 17.08.2023)
for dates in previous years.

The help on that setting for "Index Format" says the default format for 
the line is

STATUS MSGNO SMARTDATETIME24 FROMORTO(33%) SIZENARROW SUBJKEY(67%)

There are quite a lot of different tokens for date and/or time formats.
