1. There is a chance of misinterpreting the message of zonealerm.
If "component control" is enabled, zonealarm will ask something like "xxx
and components are trying to access the internet". It does _not_ mean that
some component is trying to access internet, but is means that a component
is loaded. So click "allow". There is _no_ "remember this setting" to check
or uncheck. In this case click "allow".

2. Activesync uses the address 127.0.0.1
Put 127.0.0.1 in the trusted zone.
When zonealarm pops up with "xxx is trying to access the trusted zone" then
first click / check "remember this setting", second click "allow".

3. If there are still questions of zonealarm, check "alerts and logs".
