You might wish to consider migrating away from Evolution; apparently it's due to be deprecated and replaced by the Gnome developers anyway, so unless someone takes it over it might be reaching the end of its development road.
if you want a graphical mail client, i'd suggest Icedove aka Thunderbird by the Mozilla team. I'm a mutt user mostly myself, but I used Icdove for several years at work (i switched back to mutt there last year because i changed jobs and was reading mail mostly over ssh sessions rather than directly from my desktop)....it works quite nicely and has a useful range of plugins available like iceweasel (my favourite is External Editor which allows me to use gvim to edit messages that require more than a quick & short reply).
Why is Thunderbird any better then evolution? I think Thunderbird is also dead. http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/06/mozilla-giving-thunderbird-the-effective-... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/07/06/thunderbird_dead/ etc.
