PIM is actually pretty geekspeaky as well. very few people i speak with know 
what "PIM" is and when i expand it for them to "personal information 
management" it's equally fuzzy.

Mail & Calendaring, while a generalization and simplification of what it does, 
is something that everyone knows and understands. Messaging & Calendaring 
might also work, if not for the possible confusion with IM?

Akonadi is a hard one due to its scope. but when labelling it in the UI, it's 
probably possible to easily create context appropriate shortcuts in the 
verbage.
