Was that a verbatim message? Who owns the /home directory?
I've had that in the past when I copied my home dir to a new system. Does the
user id match you? I.e. when you type ls -l /home/bob do you see bob or a
(user id) number like 500. Though I think that last Q has already been
answered.
Definitely a rights or disk space problem.
Or Mail is already there, another reason for that error. Have you
checked /var/log/messages?
One way to check is to add a new user and see if he can create a new Mail dir.
Then you'll know that KDE is OK. Back to rights.
