Hi Gary, As far as I know its accepted that packages are updated to versions beyond their current release in Guix. Especially if they don’t work without that version. See “info '(guix) Version Numbers'”. So maybe you could submit it as a patch updating the offlineimap3 package! Have a nice day, Noé
