There are a lot of things Geary doesn't support... It looks flashy, but that's about it. Lack of PGP support was the deal breaker for me, and implementing it doesn't seem to be a priority for the project. The conversation thread for this bug report is a mess: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713403

For now I'm sticking with Evolution as my desktop mail solution, and K-9 with APG for mobile. Will probably switch to mutt on desktop once I stop being so lazy...
