I don't know where, or how, to look.

Yes, I did.

Also, evolution keeps asking for the POP3 password even if I type it in
several times, so I guess there must be something else.

A workaround seems to be to go offline, then go online again.  At least,
that way, the POP3 password entered isn't forgotten (which is why I can
write e-mails at all).

I would assume evolution, because it keeps forgetting the POP3 password.
