Please start a NEW THREAD when having a new topic. Your question has
nothing to do with "downloads page". 
To answer your question: Because Evolution is a MUA[1] application and
not MTA[2] application, and because there is no need to reinvent the
wheel. If you want an MTA, use Sendmail or fetchmail. If you want a
command-line MUA, use Mutt or something similar.
