No, Evo is too basic to support such advanced features, I am afraid.

It supports "sort by, then sort by" in the message list pane: 
https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/mail-sorting-message-list.html
It supports having an "unread" search folder, even across all folders:
https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/mail-search-folders.html
It supports using the space bar to read unread mail across folders:
https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/mail-reading-keyboard-shortcuts.html#unread-across-folders

But I guess all those are just "workarounds", by your definition.
