Hey there!

Yes, you need php first...
The documentation about php can be found on http://www.php.net, but i would recommend this package to you:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html (for testing purposes, when you try it i recommend installing php fo windows).

After you download Squirrel mail and extract it, there is a install file in your package, covering everything but IMAP installation for you server (but there is enough info on the web about that -> just follow the steps).

Hello Ljubiccica

I really appreciate your help, i visited the page that you advised me and i just want to confirm if i understud well, ( you know I am trying to do my best according to express my self ) the package for Windows 2003 is XAMPP Windows Basic package]  and under it there is a commons installer 34 Mb,ZIp file that is bigger ( 80 MB ) and  EXE 7-zip (28 MB ) what do you recommend me i forgot to tell you that i have IIS 6 that is comming with windows 2003 Server  Is it works ?

Regards.
Try installer and of it doesn't work, take 80 MB file...
Is it work for ISS 6 under Windows 2003 Server ?

If it doesn't work, than you will have to install in manually.
