[ale] permissions mystery

I reinstalled KDE tonight. Now, since I reinstalled Kmail fails at
startup, claiming it doesn't have permissions to create $HOME/Mail.
That directory already exists and it has the same permissions that
worked earlier today. The only thing I can think is that it is
actually trying to create the directory somewhere else. But I can't
think of a way to check this. Any hints?
