Outlook express on Vista?

I hope someone can help. I have just set up my new PC. I am trying to access Outlook Express with no joy. It seems that I have to use Windows Mail!! I have searched but cannot find it :(

I am runing on Windows Vista and Internet Explorer. I prefer OE, is there any way I can get into it to configure it to my email settings? Any help will be much appreciated. TIA

    You have Outlook Express. It's just called Windows Mail instead.

    Click on the start orb then type in the search box 'mail' without the quote marks.

    Dogmaryxx is right - there is no such thing as Outlook Express on Vista - you have Windows Mail instead - virtually the same thing.

    Because Outlook is part of MS Office: nothing to do with Outlook Express.
    You might as well say, 'why don't they call Vista XP'?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
