Account, folder and filter alias are unique across the configuration
file, ie. you cannot use the same folder alias twice.  So the above
would be written:

  account account1 firewall:password at mail.jg555.com:143
    folder inbox1 INBOX
    folder spam1 Spam
    folder virus1 Virus
  
  account account2 firewall-support:password at mail.jg555.com:143
    folder inbox2 INBOX
    folder spam2 Spam
    folder virus2 Virus

  ...

  job 7days spam1,spam2,virus1,virus2

  ...


PS. I know... it isn't the most efficient way... after v1.0 imapfilter
would be benefited from a redesign of its configuration file, which
should be made simpler, more flexible and more powerful.  Some things
can be accomplished nice and cleanly, but other look really ugly.
