This can't be done *yet*.  Although if you care to, you could patch
evolution-mail to do something like this, as if you'd like to know how.

But currently, all you can do is say 'for these folders, download all
unread mail', you can select the folders in the settings dialogue.

Also, any mails you've read with evolution will get downloaded as part
of the reading process so should also be available.
