This was added to Gentoo ebuild repository as a beta grade Mail client when it 
probably should not have been at that early stage. While its repository is 
found on invent.kde.org it is not particularly well integrated with KDE 
community, release tarballs aren't even hosted there. There is no overlap with 
the big KDE PIM suite.

There is no particular appetite to continue maintain this especially with the 
limited dev hours available to Gentoo KDE proj, and in fact those packages 
have already fallen behind.

A PR appeared to add kube-0.9.0 +deps but never came to fruition:
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/22371

See also: https://kube-project.com/getit.html

As a result, the following packages are up for grabs very soon:

mail-client/kube (0.7.0 in tree, 0.9.0 upstream)
dev-libs/sink (bug 830945; 0.8.0 in tree, 0.9.0 upstream)
net-libs/kdav2 (0.3.0 in tree, 0.4.0 upstream)
net-libs/kimap2 (0.3.0 in tree, 0.4.0 upstream)
dev-libs/flatbuffers (up to date, stabilisation pending)

Regards,
Andreas
