How do I set TB so it does NOT alert me when junk mail arrives?

I keep TB up most of the time in the background while I work because I frequently get emails from my clients and family during the day. The problem is that I also get a lot of junk mail and so TB is also constantly notifying me of this junk mail. This distracts me from my work and takes time from my working day to check what just came in when I hear the notification. I would like to have the option in Settings to select which accounts (I have 4) and which folders within each account should notify me. I need to have ready access to the junk folders so I can check them occasionally for legitimate mail but I don't need to know every time something arrives there. I would like to be notified when new mail arrives in one of the Inbox's but not when it arrives in a Spam or Bulk or Junk folder. Thank you, DaveWK

I don't think you can. New mail is new mail. There might be something on the add-on site. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
