The current form demands newly created folders or SENT mail, only.

The problem is that I never created any folders, and I never send mail through that account. It is for ebay/paypal, and in the few years i've had that account, I doubt if i've sent 5 total emails, none recently enough to recall.
I do however know precisely my user name from ebay account, and the precise information that paypal would show in the header. I could even tell them what my most recent ebay transactions are. But none of that helps when none of that involves sent mail.

What maddens me here, is that this account was only locked after I had logged onto it from my girlfriends house.
The very next time I logged on from my account, I got that wonderful warning that it appears someone else is using my account! The irony of course is that it wasn't locked when I used it at my girlfriends, only when I tried to use it again at home.
So what, we're not allowed to be mobile with live mail? And this is the second time this has happened in the identical way. The first time was another commerce account that I also logged onto from another IP address, but this was right after the new live mail rollout, when there was far more customer support available to us.
Now every single link sends you to the very same reset page that asks the same questions about SENT mail.
