It's under Account Settings -> Server Settings

"when I remove a message"

x  move it to trash
   just mark deleted
   remove immediately


so, in the default setting above, I don't think TB is configured to tell 
the IMAP server to remove it.  However, if the client has that box 
checked, then, yes, I think it happens right away.
