Bitdefender Firewall is now blocking Outlook folder sync with IMAP box

beeq

Task 'Synchronizing subscribed folders for _______@______.' reported error (0x800CCC0E) : 'Outlook cannot synchronize subscribed folders for _______@_______. Error: Cannot connect to the server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

With disabled Bitdefender Firewall Outlooks works normally without errors. I'm using Bitdefender Total Security on Windows 11 21H2 22000.739

I have made a rule for program C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE with permission Allow, Network Type: Any Network, any protocol, both directions. but Application access is still showing me "OUTLOOK.EXE has been blocked"

Default application behaviour is set to Block

I re-created this rule and now it works. Can't say what broke the rule in the first place; have had it working fine for months
