You can enable your filters to be automatically applied to messages that
land in your IMAP server's INBOX by editing your account in the Mail
Settings dialog and checking "Apply filters to new messages in INBOX on
this server" on the receiving options page.

Due to How IMAP Works (TM), this is about the best that can be achieved

filters on your IMAP server, but I only know of one server that
implements it, and evolution doesn't support it anyway.
