I've setup my Outlook.com email address in Windows 8 Mail (Modern UI) but is unable to send and receive emails when my AVG Internet Security 2012 Business Edition's Firewall is enable.

When I disable the firewall, the emails are coming through and are being send.

I know that I can most probably open the ports for IMAP on the firewall, but instead I would like to permit the application.

Where/how do I find the application path for Windows 8 Mail (Modern UI) to allow all network traffic? (AVG did not show its normal Allow/Disallow notification for 1st time communications)

Any advice would be appreciated.
