Have you done any searches on that error?

It is specifically not an Evolution error, it's something that is
returned by GnuTLS when, presumably, the session connection doesn't
work.  Looking at the various solutions for *other applications* it is
most often to do with bad certificates.

The fact that it's still an issue when you "downgrade" Evolution shows
that it's something to do with your environment and nothing to do with
Evolution.  Lots and lots of people use Gmail with Evolution without
any issues.

(BTW, downgrading Evolution is a dangerous thing to do - there are
occasionally updates to the storage locations and formats that make
things not backward compatible.)

Milan gave you some gnutls-cli commands to try. All you said was that
they worked, could you check again that the certificate chain is
sensible - there are probably two certificates - the "Google Internet
Authority" one and a Globalsign trusted certificate.

Since the Google certificate is properly signed, Evolution shouldn't
need to care about it, but just in case look in the Evo certificate
cache (Edit -> Preferences -> Certificates -> Mail).  If there are any
Google, gmail, googlemail certificates in there you should probably
delete them.

Finally, if all else fails, create a new Linux user account and try and
configure Evolution there so you start with a clean configuration. 
That will tell you if the underlying problem is with your
machine/network or with the account config.
