Hi Julien,

 support, one has to load 3 plugins from the claws-mail package. By default,
 claws-mail looks in its store directory to propose available plugins.

 When upgrading claws-mail, the configuration doesn't change. Plugins are still
 looked for in the old store location, so old plugins are still used. This is
 bad for security and compatibility. Another issue is when running guix gc
 afterwards: the old plugins are deleted and claws-mail issues an error message
 on startup because it cannot find them anymore.

Reading the recent activity about claws-mail, is it still an issue?

Cheers,
simon
