I just tried your setup and it did create the tmpEmail.txt file with the
mail included. I had created the filter to match on everything.
The problem with your script may be that the tmpEmail.txt file is
created in the directory from where evolution was started, which
probably is a directory like /usr/bin/ where you as a normal user
are not allowed to write to.
Try to put an absolute path to the file to be written to,
like /tmp/email.txt or ~/email.txt. That should work.
