I am doing something similar, only that I add a prefix for each
account. So for my gmail, I have the following:

,----
| [Repository RemoteRMKrugGMAIL]
| type = Gmail
| ...
| # Add RMKrugGMAIL prefix when copying to local
| nametrans = lambda foldername: 'RMKrugGMAIL.' + foldername
| ...
| 
| [Repository LocalRMKrugGMAIL]
| type = IMAP
| ...
| ######
| ## Remove RMKrugGMAIL prefix when copying to remote
| nametrans = lambda folder: re.sub('^RMKrugGMAIL.', '', folder)
| ######
| ## Only copy folders if they start with RMKrugGMAIL
| ## Other folders are ignored and are only local.
| folderfilter = lambda folder: folder.startswith('RMKrugGMAIL')
| # folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername not in ['notmuch']
| ######
`----

Hope this helps,

Rainer
