Your usage of folderfilter is not doing what you intend to do, I think.
With your setup offlineimap will ignore every folder except a folder
called "LABEL".  I suppose there is no folder "LABEL" on the "NORMAL"
account, so offlineimap does nothing.  What you are aiming at is a
translation of folder names.  This can be done using auxilliary python
code.

This old mail might be a starting point for further research:

Hope it helps,
Thomas
