Firstly, That IP address is assigned to an Italian network provider. If
you just picked it out of the air you'll likely run into trouble down
the line. If you don't have an IPv6 assignment of your own, you'll
probably want to use link-local addressing (in the fe80:: netblock)

This sounds like a problem with the Windows side of things, so I'm not
sure we will be able to help much, but some basic steps - can you ping6
the server? What about traceroute6? Can you telnet to the mail server
manually from the windows machine? If not what error message do you get?
