Exactly what it says it does, although that's not incredibly helpful
to the average person. ;-) It causes Evolution to notify D-BUS every
time there's a new message, which will then dispatch that notification
to anything that cares.

Unfortunately, except for a few scripts I've seen lurking around,
nothing in the distribution cares. Ideally, someone would write a
notification area applet that does something interesting when a
new message arrives, but right now there really isn't anything.

Actually, now that I think about it, I believe it might cause an
audible alert (or window bar flash). Memory fails me right now,
though.
