Let me be clearer. I have something like four or five IMAP accounts. I
only sync with two of them which I consider the main ones, the others
being place holders for old mail addresses. I use imapfilter to fetch
all the mail from these old IMAP accounts into the sync'ed ones and
then to sort everything on the server side. So for now, I have one
imapfilter configuration which does everything, and synchronisation
should only occur when it has finished.

I must admit I could split my imapfilter configuration in two, since I
have one main account for work and one for personal messages, and they
are normally independent. Then I could invoke imapfilter from each
account presynchook. But what if some messages should be moved from
one sync'ed account to the other one?

Indeed, that's a solution. But I would prefer keep the current
parallel configuration.
