Like Jochen said, this feature is still not supported. I tried with both
IMAP and IMAP+ on Evolution 2.32.2. The mail server is Exchange 2010.

In help manual, it says "When you press Delete or click the Trash folder, your mail is not actually deleted, but is marked for deletion. Your email is recoverable until you have expunged your mail."
Also, "However, this is not true for the Trash folder on Exchange servers, which behaves just the same as it does in Outlook. It is a normal folder with actual messages in it. For more information about search folders, see Using Search Folders."

I was expecting to read how to move mails to "Deleted Items" folder when
I press the delete key, but it only says to read about Search folders,
which is irrelevant.

Right now, when I press the Delete key, the mail is simply marked as deleted and appears in the "virtual folder". Even after pressing F9(send/receive), I couldn't find the deleted mails in OWA(Outlook Web Access) or on my mobile phone's mail app.
In Mail Preferences, "Delete Mail" section does not have any relevant options. It has only options related to expunge behavior and empty trash on exit.

Sorry if I missed anything, but after investing fair amount of time, I could only conclude that this bug is not fixed.
This problem does not exist in Claws, Zimbra and Outlook.

Title:
  Evolution virtual trash / "real" trash on IMAP server

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  Confirmed
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,

  This bug refer to the bug 12439 of evolution
  (http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6061).
  Evolution developpers don't seems to understand the importance of this bug. So,
  evolution being the main Ubuntu MUA, I think this problem concerne Ubuntu.

  I explain you quickly the problem :
  The evolution Trash is a virtual folder showing mails marked as DELETED on IMAP
  server.
  In a "one user" on "one desktop" and "one OS", it's probably a really good think
  for all reasons given by evolution team.

  But in my environnement : multiple user, multiple OSes, multiple MUA, ... it's a
  critical probleme.
  For security reason (too easy to definitively destroy a mail) user the MUA must
  copy deleted mail in a real Trash mailbox on the IMAP server.

  I can use another MUA like thunderbird, but I loose the really good  integration
   of evolution in ubuntu.
