I think the PIM needs are for a large part representative of the needs of network oriented applications in general. At the time it was introduced into CVS it was added to kdepim in order to meet release dependencies (kdepim didn't want to rely on the latest kdelibs) but it is my understanding that it can move to kdelibs for KDE 4.0.

Will Stephenson should be able to comment.
