[Bug 1876286] Re: Evolution reports "Error performing TLS handshake: Internal error in memory allocation."

[Sebastien Bacher]

It's unclear to me, if that issue new and what created it? If it has
been existing in Xenial and Bionic and not reported in years, is it
really important enough to justify a stable update?

Bug description:
  [testcase]

  $ gnutls-cli --priority=NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.3 pop.verizon.net:995
  [...]
  - Status: The certificate is trusted.
  *** Fatal error: Internal error in memory allocation.


  When Evolution checks my verizon.net account it displays the message
  "Error performing TLS handshake: Internal error in memory allocation"
  and doesn't download any new email messages.  This started happening
  two days ago shortly after updates were applied.  Normally it would
  download the new email messages.  Searching the web I found a Linux
  Mint forum with users having the same issue.  Some users felt it maybe
  an expired certificate while others thought it might be related to the
  recent update.  What can I do to get more information about this
  issue?
