Your mileage may vary: on Bullseye here. Offlineimap was dependent on Python
2.x Offlineimap3 doesn't work for me and segfaults.
Notably, moving to Bullseye broke offlineimap horribly because no Python2
and Offlineiap3 didn't work either.
mbsync has worked reliably as an offlineimap replacement
IMHO: DON'T USE OFFLINEIMAP[3] any more :)
