Windows Firewall and Windows mail

Posted: 06-25-2007, 09:45 PM

Hello,

I want to set Windows Firewall to block all inbound and outbound
traffic in the "Windows Firewall and Advanced Security" panel in
Administrative Tools for all three profiles. This is not the problem
though. The problem is that I can not get it to allow "Windows Mail" or
"Windows Live Mail" connection to the internet. The e-mail programs
will give me a "Cannot connect to server, port 110" error when it is set
to block all. I set the Windows Firewall to allow the EXE files of both
e-mail programs in both the incoming and outgoing rules. What am I
missing please? I have no problems with IE7 or Live Messenger being
allowed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Shawn
