I am running Mandriva 2007, with KDE and KMail. Since I accidentally

Currently, "bounce" messages from my ISP's server are received O.K., but
mail sored on the server is simply deleted. This happens with KMail and
Evolution, so it can't be anything specific to one client.
Where should I start looking?

Try adding a user and see what directories get created.
useradd newuser
ls -a /home/newuser
Look in /var/spool/mail/ to see if your directory exists. If it
worked before, we can assume sendmail is set up to accept connections
from an external source.
Sorry. The server is the ISP's server.
Since my original post, I have done some further tests. I booted into
Ubuntu and tried to download mail there. It got lost there as well. But
my wife is able to download her mail into Windows XP, and she has a
separate e-mail address on my account with the ISP.
