A much surer way of doing this is to ignore the junk mail settings of
Thunderbird and use the information provided to you by the Webmail add-
on - no training involved.

By the laws of the POP3 protocol all mail must be delivered to the
Inbox on Thunderbird.  The Webmail add-on cannot change this basic of
Thunderbird.

However the Webmail add-ons do add a header line to the messages
downloaded that gives the folder on the server from which the message
was downloaded.  The line looks like:

X-Folder: Inbox

-or-

X-Folder: %40B%40Bulk

You can look at all the header lines yourself  by selecting a message
and then View > Message source

Thunderbird lets you set up filters for each mail account that can
check the X-Folder line and then move that message automatically on
receipt to the Thunderbird folder you want based on the folder it came
from on the server.

In Thunderbird when creating a filter for the message you would need
to add a new category of the fields that can be tested to tell
Thunderbird to look for the X-Folder line.  Then a simple filter that
says:

If X-Folder contains Junk then move it to the Junk folder on the
Hotmail account

will do exectly what you want.

Hope this helps,
