        Hi,
dealing with such requests is better either through the user list
(evolution-list), or through bugzilla - see the "bugs" section of:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/#Online_Support
not talking that your Evolution it rather old, the current stable
version is 3.32.2.

Nonetheless, I do not expect that Evolution update would help, because
Evolution doesn't use gnutls. It doesn't use it directly. Evolution
relies on glib-networking and on whatever it uses, which is gnutls in
this case. I guess those developers would appreciate any help,
especially if the code is broken for them. If you wish, I can try to
create some simple test program (a .c file), which would open a stream
towards specified server and ask for capabilities or something, which
can be done in an unauthenticated state, on which you can verify:
a) it's really in glib-networking, b) whether more recent version of it
will help.

        Bye,
        Milan
