A close look at libapache2-mod-php4:

" Compiled in extensions include: bcmath, bz2, calendar, ctype, dba, 
dbx, exif, filepro, ftp, gettext, iconv, mbstring, mime_magic, openssl, 
overload, pcre, posix, session, shmop, sockets, standard, sysvmsg, 
sysvsem, sysvshm, tokenizer, wddx, xml, xmlrpc, yp, and zlib."

imap is not included!!!   So where does squirrelmail get the imap 
capability?   And how can we give ISMail the imap capability required?
