I've no practical experience of xAP vs the Windows Firewall I'm
afraid, but how wierd is it that the Hub and Mail Monitor work fine
(with Viewer), but EmailOSD is silent.

Is Viewer also on the same machine? That would mean that MailMon is
logging new emails and pumping out the messages onto the xAP network.
Viewer will receive a copy via Hub, as should EmailOSD.

In the set of application flavours (the non Service versions), do any
of them mention running as a Hub in the title bar? None should as the
actual xAP Hub should be performing that role, but I'm wondering if
maybe it isn't.

It might also be worth running a non-Service Hub. For example, try
stopping the xAP Hub Service, and then restarting everything, Viewer
first. Viewer should automatically take on the Hub role. Then check to
see that NewEmailOSD connects to Viewer and appears in its tree.
Alternatively, using the GUIHub should show you just the devices
connected which is even more explicit as to what's occuring.
