I can reproduce this problem with kmail svn r860337. What I did is I removed
the "new" subdirectory of my inbox and tried to start kmail. What I got was:

First warning message (appears twice!):
Error opening /home/gkiagia/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox/new; this folder
is missing.

Second error message:
KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now.
The error was:
You do not have read/write permission to your inbox folder.

I also tried to do that with a new test folder. First I removed its "tmp"
subfolder and kmail displayed a similar warning, but not an error and the
folder appeared although it was not usable. Then I also removed its "new"
subfolder and the "test" folder completely disappeared from kmail without any
warnings or errors.

I believe kmail could just create these folders if they do not exist.
