It's worth noting that Hotmail/OutlookLive/MS365/ExchangeOnline is one 
of the IMAP implementations that skipped implementation of user-defined 
keywords, which MM needs for the feature it calls Tags. Also, GMail 
smudges together the concept of keywords with that of folders in a 
manner completely inconsistent with the IMAP specification, so there may 
be issues if your mail is there as well.
