The best way is to write a little wrapper that would check the presence
of -q|--quick. Once segregation is done, make the real call to
offlineimap and override the configuration option "folderfilter" with
the '-k' CLI option.

Another way is to use 2 configuration files but this implies duplication
of the settings.
