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.
