For me, the answers are:
 - Running Evolution over ssh is excruciatingly slow.
 - Once you have learnt your key bindings, you can get things done
    much faster than in evolution.
 - Mutt is much more customizable than Evolution, including the option
    to pipe mail through external programs & such.

I also believe that Mutt is more standards compliant when it comes to
handling GPG/PGP signed and/or encrypted mail, but don't quote me on
that one.

Just my two cents
