You have obfuscated all of the data so there is no way for anyone to
verify your conclusions. The message indicates that you are using a
self-signed certificate. That warning message is normal. Are you
attempting to verify the certificate with fetchmail? If so, remove the
check an retry the process.

You might be better served on the fetchmail forum.
