There is no command to do this.  Evolution 2.2 has a d-bus notification
interface which can let you know that there is new mail; perhaps this
could be used.  Alternatively it also has a plugin mechanism wereby you
can discover information about new mail arriving and this could be used
to drive another program (or e.g. write it to a file you could read
later).
