New notifications behavior in incoming Junk mail

I am on Ubuntu 22.04.5 using Thunderbird 140.7.1esr (64-bit). After the latest update (from 128.12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1) the notifications for mail has changed. Instead of just getting a notice, the notice now allows me to mark as read right within the notification (which is cool), but also now I am getting notifications when Junk mail comes in. Not a notification that it's junk, just that it is a new email.

I do *not* want these to automatically get marked as Read when they come in, as I do want to manually review them in case it's a mistake, and leaving them as unread in my Junk folder makes sense to me in order to make that easier. However, I do not want these notifications on each and every mail. If it's junk it should just silently classify it as such, like it used to. However, I cannot find a setting for this. is there a way to revert to the old behavior without rolling back to an earlier version of Thunderbird? Thanks!
