If I have understood everything right then this is not the same 
question.

But I am really surprised that you ask why you should communicate via 
email with someone "though" you e.g. meet him once per month. Or with 
someone whom you could call instead. Is that really your question?

Symmetric keys and fingerprints have to be exchanged through a secure 
channel only once.
