Nothing special.  But here it is in case you want to have some config

where I have two virtual users (using /etc/dovecot/passwd), one per

[Account Uni]

[Repository UniLocal]

remoteuser = uni
remotepass = XXXXXXX
maxconnections = 2

[Repository UniRemote]
type = IMAP

maxconnections = 2
# Don't sync shared folders
folderfilter = lambda foldername: not re.search('(Other Users|Shared Folders)', foldername)

I hope that helps you to get started.
