to Thunderbird Webmail Extension
I installed this extension just so that I could sync my "Saved"
folders from hotmail onto Thunderbird (and then save hard copies of
all of my emails to my computer). However, it doesn't seem to be
working... TB is not recognizing those folders or downloading any
emails from them. I installed webmail and the hotmail extension, added
my folders to the list in options.. Perhaps I misunderstood something
or made an error somewhere? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

First everything will be download to your Webmail - Hotmail inbox

Then you need to set-up the following two things:

1) A folder for the saved messages to put into. ie Hotmail Saved Messages

2) A filter keying on the x-folder name. You get this info by viewing your messages source. Here mime is "Saved Messages" and tell the filter it where to move the messages to.

This would be same for any of your folders on the Hotmail web-mail site.
