Sending and receiving e-mails from Outlook Express to Windows Mail

I just got a new laptop with Vista on it and tried to setup my Windows Mail.
I used all the same settings and information as on my Windows XP Outlook
Express on my desktop. This is my work e-mail and AT&T U-verse says I need
to contact my office web host because they cannot help with third party
e-mail. Why can I send and receive e-mails using the exact same settings
through the AT&T U-verse using Windows XP Outlook Express and not on Vista?
Is this a AT&T problem or a Vista problem, any suggestions?

If you have configured Windows Mail send a test msg to yourself, if it fails
you should get an err.msg
(Dont have Express open on your other PC, whilst testing)
