Thunderbird does not download SPAM until I open the spam folder

This is an existing TB account installed on a new pc, and somehow I failed to copy the spam list across. So for the next few weeks it has to learn all over again. And at the moment there are a lot of false positives.

So when I click on the spam folder it takes some time for all the messages to download. I'd like them to download automatically, so when I click on the spam folder the messages are all there waiting for me

Yes it's IMAP
