I just had to change my IMAP password on the remote server. When I did so, I closed kmail before changing the password in the system settings. When I tried opening kmail again, it always crashed with the following output on the command line:

kmail(14689) KMail::NetworkAccount::setCheckingMail: connections to server "XXX" now 0

To workaround this problem, I had to disable the networking via network
manager. open up kmail, change the password in the system settings, and
restore the networking again.
