Thunderbird does not download SPAM

Why does Thunderbird not download SPAM, I have to use a different mail-program to download SPAM from the server, Thunderbird will not download spam?

If this is a POP setup, only the Inbox is downloaded. To see other folders, it must be an IMAP setup. If it's already IMAP and Spam is missing, right-click the account in the Folder Pane, Subscribe, add the missing folders.

Thunderbird is set up with a POP-setup, the other mail-program is setup with a IMAP setup, that is why there is a difference, THANKS....
