What i notice the most, is *speed*, mutt gets unbearable on big mailboxes.
Also the label is approach is much better, just because having more than one label
in an thread can be very usefull.
Also prefer the UI, tudier for tilling WMs and smarthphones (altough mutt can be
customized)

One thing about sup, is that you have to go cold turkey, sup does not sync
back to the mailbox. I solved that problem by placing it under tmux on a 
24/7 avaliable server, so i just ssh to tmux, from the computer, cellphone,
public machine whatever.

I eventually want to migrate to heliotrope once a decent client shows up.

But if you're on mutt and dont bother about using only one client for email,
Sup is awesome
