Microsoft discourages installing IIS and .NET on an Active Directory Server. Because of this, we recommend installing IMail Server on a member server.

IMail Server has not been tested with 64-bit operating systems.

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (get it here)
-
If you have .NET 2.0 installed, you still need .NET 1.1 and configure it for the portion of IIS that runs IMail Server. Both versions of .NET can coexist on the same box, but .NET 1.1 must have been installed prior to .NET 2.0.
