    Disable XP's sad excuse for a firewall and install a free one:

    A lot more effective and easily customisable

    I don't think you have to buy "free".

    I'm sorry but I beleive that isn't possible. You cannot remove or change the port assignments to the Windows XP's firewall. You can add port services to protect you and leave pop3 unchecked. Keep in mind that it will only block you incoming connections to the Internet. That will change in Windows XP's Service Pack 2 (SP2).
