Does Hotmail or Outlook.com have a similar feature?
Yes, Outlook.com has that feature as of this week.
If yes, how does it work?
This blog article explains how it works. It works the same as with Gmail.
Example
Say your email address is myname@outlook.com.
You can add something with a plus + sign.
So, sending an email to myname+mailinglist_topic_x@...

After tinkering around for a while, I discovered that the table width is fixed to the size of the parent container, which is normally not selectable for some reason when you create a new table directly on a page.
The mouse cursor is not visible in the above screenshot, but I am hovering over the table. By default, hovering over the table does not allow you ...

The session duration in Outlook Web Access might be enforced on the organization policy level, and OWA has no way to tweak it for individual users.
If so, one can either convince whoever took this decision, or install a browser extension to automatically refresh the session.
For example, mSession Keeper for Firefox can be set up to:

How to compose a New Message or Event and Populate fields in Office365
There is support available to programmatically invoke OWA mail and calendar event compose form. Because this is based on URL parameters, there are a number of limitations, including the limit on URL length of around 2048 chars which essentially makes it not adequate for ‘reply’ scenarios ...

OneDrive personal and OneDrive for Business are completely different and you can't share folders between these accounts.

Right-click on the folder that you want to rename that is listed under your name.

For Chrome you could use the plugin Staying alive for Google Chrome which makes requests in the background to Outlook Web Mail. You can configure the URL triggers which will start with the background requests.
This prevents you from logging out.

I think I figured it out (for me, at least)! You may be trying to edit your folders looking at them in "Favourites". Remove them from your "Favourites", click "More" under "Folders", then you will be able to right click and rename or delete the folder you created.

Now, in your iOS Calendar app, you need to select ...

From a Microsoft representative:
"With the current design of Hotmail, the option you're referring to is not yet available. I will forward the suggestion over to our product team as consideration for a future release."
Unfortunately, that was over a year ago. It doesn't look like the feature is coming anytime soon.

I just tested this in Firefox 15.0.1 and Chrome 30.0.1599.101 (both on Mac):
Click the share link
Click the email option
Copy the link at the top of the window that pops up
Currently, this link does include the fragment identifier to go to that specific answer.

After installation of Dropbox desktop sync you'll see the folder under "My Computer" on left-hand side. Create folder on it called "office". Then create your Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. files and save in ...

I was able to find solutions on the web for your other questions on selecting multiple emails and rule creation but this one seems to be a known problem with Outlook on Web. I've found a few similar questions and feature requests from Microsoft.

This won't help much, but if you reduce the size of the font, it'll display a few more, so a few more will get selected.

When you click the checkbox to select all the emails the email content window displays a menu which includes the buttons of options for the selected emails which has a header counting the number of selected emails.

If you spend a minute searching, you will find all the articles are how Send As permissions should work with Office 365, Exchange Online and Outlook 2016. We read them all and were still getting (despite checking and re-checking permissions):

A few things to double check:
Are you clicking in the list of folders on the left immediately after you sign in?
Also, are you sure you're logged in as the same user that originally created those folders?

If you have a reasonably up-to-date version of Office, the easiest method is to use Excel with PowerQuery.
PowerQuery has a source for Office 365 and Exchange Online. Connect up to the Mail entry and you can access all the From, To, CC and BCC entries. Takes a bit of wrangling but it is all point and click. No programming.

Since Both these services support IMAP, it's possible to use an IMAP client to migrate mails from one to the other.
If you want a GUI application, you could use Thunderbird or Outlook, and connect both the mail accounts. you can then drag and drop the messages from one folder to the other. Do note that your client will download the mails first, and then ...

There seem to be native HTML5 desktop notifications working for Outlook web now, but only under Windows. It's not there for Linux, which is really strange given it's the same API. Not sure why they chose not to support it under Linux given that's really the only missing piece for critical feature parity in the browser.
