No, because it is not part of the IMAP protocol.

Right, not part of the protocol, so there would be no option for that. You
can either manually drag-N-drop deleted mail, before you purge it, to a new
folder you create on the server, called Trash, or whatever. Or... perhaps
you can set up a filter to move/copy deleted mail to your new Trash folder,
etc... this might work.


Which leads me to ask/comment/point out, a bit off topic perhaps ... if you 
do take the filter path, and are checking mail on different machines, 
perhaps with different applications and operating systems ... how do you 
sychronize your filters?  I believe there's not a centralized universal way 
of filtering messages.  Do you have create them on each app you use?
