I have installed on bionic and still have TLS memory error when trying to connect to my Rogers-Yahoo account.  No change.  Confirmed that new package is installed...Tried creating new Rogers-Yahoo account and it fails as well.
Dang.  Pls let me know what I can do to help diagnose further!
Appreciate the work to date.

 Hello Rod, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnutls28 into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnutls28/3.5.18-1ubuntu1.4 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

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"
