Thunderbird hanging with lots of spam?

So, I got back after about a week or so out of the office. I had 1200 spam emails. I started downloading them, and after about 150, the program hangs and eventually stops (I'm guessing times out). I have to continually do this and run the junk mail controls on the folder manually to get all the emails eventually downloaded.

Is there something I can set to make things a little easier on my end? I'm assuming it's partly Thunderbird settings that are to blame.
 
I'm going to bump this because it's still an issue, and it takes up way too much time.

Generally I try to keep the program open so it's not an issue, but if the power goes out or something similar, I'm screwed. Came back to 700 after the weekend. Any ideas on what I can do (other than change email clients)?
