After further investigation and googling around, I found a _workaround_ of the
reported issue:

It appears that a modification concerning the authentication mechanism (that is
related with KWallet) resulted to the problem: Once I deleted the respective
Akonadi resource and recreated it (using the exact values and credentials), the
problem seized to exist.

But, as far as I am concerned, such a requirement (to delete and recreate the
respective POP3 Akonadi resource) to rectify the issue, should _not_ be an
acceptable solution...

The following comment might be out of topic, but it's worth reporting:
Furthermore, I would like to mention the fact that, in the event of connecting
with a server whose certificate is not valid/safe (The Akonadi resourse
generates a warning that the server failed the authenticity check), leads to
the user taking the responsibility upon herself whether to accept the
certificate (either for the current session, or forever), or decline it
altogether...
If the user chooses to accept the provided certificate _forever_, the akonadi
resource will periodically (each and every time it is invoked that is) keep on
complaining about the very same certificate issue, thus, _ignoring_ the
specific user request for the system to accept the (less safe) certificate!
