The suggestion from Chris is what I would have proposed. There is one outstanding issue with this method though. Any emails you send from the Web interface will only be in the sent folder on the Web and not reflected in the sent folder on Thunderbird. I cannot come up with any elegant solution to get over that.
If you really want a truly synchronized Hotmail experience for any folder on the Web store then that provided by using Microsoft's Windows Live Mail client (rather than Thunderbird) is the easiest way to get it.
