Hi Chris I'm not clear about the distinction between Hotmail and Hotmail extension. However, I tried a couple of things. Firstly, I typed a folder (EIECMR) into the webmail dialogue box and added it. It's a folder that exists on my Hotmail and Tbird. I have a filter for EIECMR on Tbird, but not hotmail. I then sent a message from a different account on Hotmail. It arrived in Tbird in the EIECMR folder and in hotmail in the Inbox. (It showed in Sent in hotmail, but not in Tbird.) I also sent a similar email from the alternative account using Tbird. Similar results except it appeared in Tbird Sent folder, but not in hotmail Sent. Nothing too surprising. But, in Tbird, neither message contained an X-folder entry under View message source.
In hotmail I shifted a couple of emails into the EIECMR folder and wondered if they would find their way into Tbird Inbox but no sign (yet). so, I'm also not clear what the WebMail Download box is for or how one exploits it.
