The extension, as currently designed, cannot be used to just perform the task you want.
The extension, by default, always works on the Inbox of the Hotmail server and would, at minimum, download any unread messages from the Hotmail Inbox to the Thunderbird Inbox for the Hotmail account. The extension can download messages from the Sent folder and other custom folders on Hotmail by specifying those folders in the Hotmail add-on options. However the extension cannot change the basic way Thunderbird works in accord with the POP3 protocol. That means that all messages must be delivered to the Thunderbird Inbox. The add-on does add an X-Folder header line in the message which includes the name of the folder from which is was downloaded. Filters can be created in Thunderbird to move the message to the appropriate Thunderbird folder based on the X-Folder header line.
