Spam does not auto move from inbox to spam folder

Thunderbird Junk email and spam

When messages arrive in inbox and are marked spam they do not auto move to spam folder. I have to uncheck the spam icon and re-check it. Not until then will they move to spam folder.

Check Thunderbird settings > Privacy & security > Junk > When messages are marked as junk.

And the account-level settings in account settings > Junk settings > Destination and retention.

I believe I have it all set properly. Not sure really HOW it should be set other than move spam to spam folder.
