Now that I think about it, I'm not sure that this 'new' flag is crucial.
Whatever method Evo is using to say "give me the new mail" is already doing
a good job of getting the mail.  Even if some notifier has tripped some flag
about the mail, Evo still gets it.

So, the question is what is the logic after Evo has downloaded new messages
(or just headers).  Evo has asked for new mail, gotten it, recorded it and
perhaps knows that some of it has been marked on the server as "read" or
not.  Each of those messages it has just downloaded should have the filters
applied, I would think.  Or maybe just the ones that the server has not
marked as read.
