Problem with KMail

Hi everyone ! 
 
I've got a strange problem, so I'll try to make myself clear : 
 
1. I use KMail in MDK 9.2. As I had to format my whole linux hard drive, I 
wanted to copy my ~/Mail directory to a Windows partition (fat32). As 
Konqueror refused to copy the directory, I zipped it with Ark and copied the 
zip file into a windows partition. 
 
2. After the MDK reinstallation, I unzipped the zip file to my ~ directory and 
lauched KMail. I immediately had several error messages about my mail 
directories which were something like : "Can't open the #{|^@ directory 
because you haven't got the privileges to or it's not a valid directory. 
 
3. After several ll commands, I realized the privileges weren't right for the 
files and directories in ~/Mail. So I tried several chmod 775 or 777 -R to 
unlock the files and directories. New attempt : the same error messages ! 
 
4. New series of ll : the directories I can read are quoted 5 in the second 
column of the ll result whereas the directories I can't read are quoted 4. I 
suppose the problem comes from this number. 
 
Questions : How can I solve that ? Any suggestions about the chmod command I 
sould use ? Any other method ? 
 
Thanks for reading this looooong description, but I reallay can't read my 
mails unles in a browser for the moment, and it's getting me mad !!!
