I'd hardly call supporting a relative's computer as "IT" support.

That would be Microsoft. They started converting the old MSN Hotmail
accounts to Windows Live Hotmail accounts back in November 2007.

No, they weren't before set to a default set of folders. They were sent
only to the message store for that HTTP account. Every HTTP account
gets its own message store. If you have N HTTP accounts then you will N
trees to show the N message stores. The POP and Exchange accounts get
aggregated into one message store.
