Actually, ICF is "tweakable" and I personally find it to be less intrusive
and more reliable than Zone Alarm.
The problem in this case for either of them is allowing inbound connections
to Outlook via RPC.

I agree Jim.

The XP firewall is on or off. No tweaking available. My suggestion is to
turn it off and use something else like Zone Alarm that can be configured.
