Need help with Regression Potential section. I have no idea about
possible regressions.

According to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Update_the_packaging
if you want to fix it in 18.04 you should patch latest version for 18.04
(3.5.1-1ubuntu3) so this is updated debdiff for Bionic applicable to
3.5.1-1ubuntu3. It builds successfully, the patch works as intended.

** Description changed:

+ IMAP connection to imap.gmail.com over SSL returns self-signed
+ certificate. Though you can still connect to imap.gmail.com using this
+ certificate, it would be better to fix it to avoid this scary warning
+ (self-signed certificate) and provide a smoother user experience.
+ 
+ Test Case
+ Install sylpheed. Start sylpheed. Create IMAP account for gmail.com in 
sylpheed (IMAP4 (Gmail)). Check for new email. You should get a warning 
complaining about self-signed certificate.
+ With fixed package, try the same. This time you should not get the warning.
+ 
+ Original Description
+ --------------------
  Problem appeared after upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04 to 18.10.
  When starting Sylpheed, connecting to imap.gmail.com over SSL, I get a 
warning embedded in the SSL certificate:  "Subject: /OU=No SNI provided; please 
fix your client./CN=invalid2.invalid "
  
  May be related to this bug report about 'fetchmail' in redhat enterprise when 
it was still using TLSv1.2 instead of TLSv1.3:
