I see 2 ways to make the situation better:
 a.) help upstream use system certificates if that is not already functional and build debian package so that works
 b.) improve the error messages in the case where there is no entry for the Repository to be something more useful like:
  | The server for repository 'Gmail' has a fingerprint that cannot be
  | verified. If you trust the fingerprint of
  | 'f3043dd689a2e7dddfbef82703a6c65ea9b634c1' then you need to update the
  | 'Repository Gmail' entry in offlineimaprc to include:
  | ssl = yes
  | cert_fingerprint = f3043dd689a2e7dddfbef82703a6c65ea9b634c1

'a' is definitely useful, but I suspect will not fix the issue for everyone.
