Thank you so much, it works for me too!  I am very impressed that bugs
are still being fixed for the powerpc version...

Is this issue going to be fixed in Ubuntu 16.04 powerpc as well as the other 
architectures? 
I hope so, its great news that the fix is working.

Same for me, the problem started a few weeks ago in xenial powerpc.
Maybe Yahoo and AOL updated their security settings and "found" the bug
that had been sitting there all along.

I would say yes, as it prevents Gnome's default email client as well as
Claws Mail from accessing Yahoo and AOL email accounts. If you have such
an email account it is a problem.

This same bug is affecting Evolution in Ubuntu 18.04 even the mainstream
x86_64 distro. It sounds as if it is a problem with the GNUTLS package.

I am experiencing the same issue using Evolution 3.18.5.2 on Ubuntu 16.04

My Yahoo and Aim accounts will not connect and I get the message "The reported 
error was "Error performing TLS handshake: Internal error in memory allocation."
