My IMAP server (at work) has dedicated folders called "Trash" and "Junk Mail"
which I cannot rename or delete. Windows Mail insists on creating new,
separate folders called "Deleted Items" and "Junk E-Mail." Is there some way
to configure Windows Mail to use the "Trash" and "Junk Mail" folders that
already exist in my IMAP account?
 
Try Right clicking on your email account in Windows Mail, and select the
option "reset folders" from the menu. That should download the list of
folders available in your Imap server.

I did manage to figure out a solution. Under Tools -> Accounts -> Properties
-> IMAP, check "Store special folders on IMAP server," then specify the names
of the folders in the boxes below that. Click OK, then go back and delete
the folders WM created that you don't want to use.
