Tips

• Make sure to allow the specific ports used by your mail and calendar applications. For example, Outlook uses ports 25, 110, and 587 for mail, and 143 and 993 for calendar.
• If you're using a web-based mail or calendar service, you may need to allow incoming and outgoing traffic on specific ports (e.g., 80, 443).
• You can also use the "Advanced" settings in the rule creation wizard to specify additional settings, such as the IP addresses or networks that are allowed to access your mail and calendar applications.
