The wording is confusing as it suggests fetchmail is not able to idle on
multiple folders. It is not actually clearly written that this also
implies that it does not support running idle on multiple accounts.

In case user does not want to change the config file, fetchmail just has
to be started as many times as there is of accounts with a different
--pidfile for each instances.

It fills bad but it is perfectly understandable once user knows that
fetchmail isn't threaded.
