How to disable the junk mail filter in Thunderbird

I am using Thunderbird through Firefox and I would like to disable the junk folder completely. A lot of my mail goes to junk folder and I don’t want it there. I have tried all suggestions given in this article to no avail.

How do I eliminate junk folder so that no mail is considered junk? I would rather go through all garbage mail and not miss important mail as I have done in past because it went to junk.
