No user-space application can corrupt a filesystem (unless there's a bug 
in the filesystem code). So if even 'ls' doesn't work properly for you 
then you do indeed seem to have serious problems. But those problems 
cannot be caused by KMail (unless you run it as root). It's much more 
likely an nfs problem.
