The WebDav option only works for accounts that have been granted WebDav access by Microsoft. WebDav enabled accounts are either one you pay for a very old Hotmail account that was granted free WebDav access years ago. No recent free Hotmail accounts can use WebDav.
The acid test for WebDav - does it work as an "http" account in Outlook Express - if it does it is WebDav enabled otherwise it is not.
