@stephenholden could you provide:
1) details on your connection type (pop/imap), server and port (in my
case this was pop to pop.verizon.net on port 995).
2) output of "dpkg -l | grep gnutls"
3) test my server using "gnutls-cli pop.verizon.net:995" (you may need
to install the gnutls-bin package) and let me know if you see the error
or a message that ends with "+OK Hello from jpop-0.1"
I just tried with the proposed repo and was able to connect, details in
another comment.

Bug description:
[Impact]
Evolution and Claws email clients stopped connecting to Yahoo, AOL,
Verizon, AT&T, Bell South, etc email servers which are run by the same
group. Users are unable to get to their email.
The underlying problem is that GnuTLS does not support zero length
session tickets. The fix works by checking that that ticket_len > 0
prior to calling gnutls_realloc_fast().
Nominating for SRU, fulfills: "Updates that need to be applied to
Ubuntu packages to adjust to changes in the environment, server
protocols, web services, and similar, i. e. where the current version
just ceases to work."
[testcase]
GnuTLS 3.6:
$ gnutls-cli --priority=NORMAL:-VERS-TLS1.3 pop.verizon.net:995
[...]
- Status: The certificate is trusted.
*** Fatal error: Internal error in memory allocation.
the error should be fixed with the update
GnuTLS 3.5:
$ gnutls-cli pop.verizon.net:995
GnuTLS 3.4:
$ gnutls-cli -p 995 pop.verizon.net
[regression potential]
The fix works by checking that that ticket_len > 0 prior to calling
gnutls_realloc_fast(). This creates two separate execution paths:
1) If the session ticket length > 0, which is the primary use case,
the original code block will be executed.
2) If the session ticket len is 0, then the original code block will
be skipped.
Testing will need to include connections to servers that return
session ticket length > 0 as well as ones that return session ticket
length of 0. Wireshark can be used to look at the NewSessionTicket
handshake message to confirm the session ticket length.
[Other Info]
The GnuTLS project's merge request 1260 fixes this bug. It was reviewed and approved by Daiki Ueno:
https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/merge_requests/1260
According to the GnuTLS project: "We utilize two continuous integration systems, the gitlab-ci and travis. Gitlab-CI is used to test most of the Linux systems (see .gitlab-ci.yml), and is split in two phases, build image creation and compilation/test. The build image creation is done at the gnutls/build-images subproject and uploads the image at the gitlab.com container registry. The compilation/test phase is on every commit to gnutls project."
Here are the results of the gitlab-ci pipeline showing all 19 tests passed for merge request 1260:
https://gitlab.com/rrivers2/gnutls/-/pipelines/149155018
Page 8, section 3.3 of RFC5077 describes the NewSessionTicket handshake message and indicates that a zero length session ticket is a legitimate value:
https://tools.ietf.org/pdf/rfc5077.pdf
--------------------------
When GnuTLS connects to servers that return zero length session
tickets using older TLS versions it returns the error code
GNUTLS_E_MEMORY_ERROR and the connection is closed. This prevents
Evolution and Claws email clients from connecting to Yahoo, AOL,
Verizon, AT&T, Bell South, etc email servers. Evolution displays the
message "Error performing TLS handshake: Internal error in memory
allocation"
