Brian, I actually typed that option - I cannot see why they cannot be moved to the "Sent" folder but I thought it so inelegant in that they would not appear correctly in the Sent folder (they would appear as sent to the owner of the Hotmail account) that I removed it and posted as I did.
One other thought has been occurring to me for some time now but it requires work on the part of the Webmail Author and I cannot say with any assurance that it is do-able. Given that the free POP/SMTP functions of Hotmail are available it would be really nice if the Hotmail add-on had the option to not download from the Inbox but only to download form the other folders of the Hotmail account. That way one could set up a Hotmail account in Thunderbird using POP/SMTP or the solution recommended by Chris and another "dummy" Hotmail account to use the Hotmail add-on to download from the Junk/Sent and any custom folders in Hotmail with Thunderbird allowing you to direct those mails to whatever folder in Thunderbird you want. When WebDav was available and could be used by the Hotmail add-on I did have filters set to synchronize messages sent on the Web interface back to Thunderbird's sent folder - it worked just fine. However now, as far as I can see, it is not possible to use a filter to detect the difference between a message sent on the Web interface from one sent by Thunderbird using the Hotmail add-on (since they are both using the standard Web interface). Nevertheless, I hope that my suggestion may be allowed to engage the mind of the Webmail Author for consideration.
