I love vfolders. Another couple of good uses:
"With my Name": Message body contains "Jack Coates" and Sender does not
contain "Jack Coates". This lets me ignore lists that are going through
flamewar or stupid spasms while still noticing and responding to direct
references to me.
"Everything": Date received is before now, with all local folders plus
Inbox and Sent. I use the search bar in this folder to search all mails
received or sent for the item I'm looking for.

So I take it you point mutt at ~/evolution/local and it handles the
multiple mboxes? That's pretty cool, if it's working like that I'd like
more details (off-line ok). Currently I use ssh X-forwarding to display
my home Evolution at work, but it's a little slow.
