Application filter "Block very high risk (Risk Level 4 & 5) apps" blocks IMAP access to Google Business email

Installed XG a couple weeks ago and worked through the MSP program with some licensing issues. Once license was applied, inbound email stopped. Couldn't find any rhyme or reason so started easter egging.

In Firewall #Default_Network_Policy disabled IPS, no change.

Disabled Web Policy, no change,

Disabled Application Control, IMAP works.

Enabled IPS and Web Policy, IMAP still works.

Brand new unit. I've only updated the firmware and basic connectivity.

This didn't help - I've added no new rules that would have blocked traffic:

This looks like my issue:

Guess I'll poke at that. I'm guessing XG isn't blocking an application, but the application functionality of the GeeMail application (http://apps.sourcebits.com/geemail/) which is simply an IMAP connection to imap.gmail.com, thus blocking Outlook and Thunderbird as well. Kind of a poor implementation.

Thoughts?
