Hi Sandy,
I can't try this myself as my Hotmail account uses the free POP service
from Hotmail, not the extension. I think that it would be the case that
you will only find the "X-folder" line in a mail that has been
downloaded from a folder in Hotmail on the website. Mails downloaded
directly from your Hotmail inbox will not contain this line.
My guess is that you first of all need to create a folder on the Hotmail
website. Move one or more test messages into this folder. Then in the
Hotmail extension set the option to download mails from this folder. All
being well the test messages will be downloaded into your Thunderbird
inbox. Look out for obvious catches like only downloading unread mail
when the mails are marked as read in Hotmail. When you have successfully
downloaded mails from this test folder, you should find the "X-Folder"
line in the headers.

Chris, you and Alan have given clear guidance on moving Hotmail
messages around. I decided to have a play but got stuck almost
straight away. I cannot locate a line X-Folder:xxxxxx in View
message. I assume I am looking for X-Folder, not X-name of folder.
Not that I can find either in the various messages I have tried. I
have a number of folders in my Hotmail and have largely similar ones
in Tbird but had cleaned out the filters in Hotmail - see my post of 8
Jan. So I tried again, setting a new Hotmail filter, and sent a
message to myself (from a different acount) that contained the filter
characteristic. It ended up in the correct Hotmail folder, but didn't
reach Tbird (actually I hadn't expected it to). Before I play some
more with this I would welcome a bit more of your help.
Thanks
Sandy
