Adding the missing bits, in order to view the POP communication, you
should launch evolution with the variable CAMEL_DEBUG=pop3, e.g. from a
terminal:
 CAMEL_DEBUG=pop3 evolution

(redirect to a file, etc. at wish)

see https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Debugging for more general
information


Actually, as there is no encryption, a packet sniffer like wireshark
should also be able to show you the full communication. In fact, I
wonder if your troubles might be related to evolution not liking to send
the credentials over a channel with no encryption (did it ask for your
pop password? AFAIK, it will store separately the POP3 and SMTP ones).
