I frequently stop receiving emails because the sslfingerprint is changed, and when I enter the new value in .fetchmailrc and go to GMail settings to re-enable POP3, GMail settings offers me the option of downloading all the messages again or only messages starting from that very moment; I choose the latter, so I lose in my email client all the messages from the moment the sslfingerprint was changed until the moment I adjust its value to the new one and re-enable GMail POP3 settings. This is very annoying.

Héctor, why do you need to re-enable POP3 settings in GMail once they
replace certificates? I don't see what one thing has to do with the
other and for my test account I don't seem to ever having had to
re-enable anything.

And for Google, why do you add sslfingerprint if it's such a hassle in
the first place? Google have properly signed certificate chains in place.
