I had a look at the source code. If I understood the code correctly then 
it checks whether
  ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox/cur
  ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox/new
  ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox/tmp
all exist and are readable and writeable.

If all of this is true then I have no idea what's wrong.
