I am using mutt with dovecot imap.
In .muttrc I have

set trash="+Trash"

I have only one problem. Messages moved to Trash folder remain marked for
deletion. Is there any way to change this behaviour?

Are the messages just marked for deletion in the INBOX? Or are they
marked for deletion after they are moved to Trash?

If the messages are marked with a 'D' in INBOX after being moved to
Trash, just hit '$' to sync with the server.

That's really weird. Are you using Mutt, Mutt-Patched or NeoMutt?

Did you figure this out? If you're using NeoMutt, have you asked about
it in #neomutt on Freenode?

Obviously this should not be the default behaviour and I have personally
not seen this.

From /usr/share/doc/mutt/NEWS.Debian.gz:

mutt (1.9.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
Starting from this version, we switch mutt to the default source package
obtained on mutt.org.

My ~/.muttrc:

set imap_pass="password"
set folder="imap://***@imap.server/"
set record="+Sent"
set postponed="+Drafts"
set trash="+Trash"
set spoolfile="imap://***@imap.server/INBOX"
set editor="/usr/bin/mcedit"
macro index c "<change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>" "open a different folder"
macro pager c "<change-folder>?<toggle-mailboxes>" "open a different folder"
macro index C "<copy-message>?<toggle-mailboxes>" "copy a message to a mailbox"
macro index M "<save-message>?<toggle-mailboxes>" "move a message to a mailbox"
macro compose A "<attach-message>?<toggle-mailboxes>" "attach message(s) to this message"
