There is a way to accomplish that - well, a bit of a hack:

Suppose you have "office" and "home" accounts set up in your
~/.offlineimaprc. Suppose you have metadata = ~/.offlineimap.

Then do this:
$ cd ~/.offlineimap
$ mkdir office
$ ln -s office home

That way, both office and home accounts will point to the same set of
metadata files.

You can now invoke "offlineimap -a office" at the office and
"offlineimap -a home" at home.

Note: although I have thought of doing this myself, I have not got
around to actually implementing it (I solved my problem in another way).
Please let me know if this actually works. ;-)

Hope this helps.
