And I failed to get a successful install as I reported here.

True, my choice, but a rich function mail server seems to need portions 
only available from epel.  That I find interesting.

Yes, and could not figure out what is happening.  No, as I did not get 
anywhere with Q 1.

I really thank you for this.  Beyond most of what I have done.

This leads to:

https://armv7.dev.centos.org/rpmbuild/epel-pass-1/17667-php-extras-5.4.16-8.el7/php-extras-5.4.16-8.el7.src.rpm

So I just tried 'yum install php-imap' and now I have it.

And I will do what testing, postfixadmin does with it.  And report back.

And my contributions are reporting what I get working (or not working) 
and howtos so others can jump into the fray.  And 'talking up'  the 
Centos distro on various arm forum.

I am actually thinking of providing a 'ready to personalize' image for 
the mail server.

thanks for all you are doing.
