"MailParse" appears to be a PECL module. If you don't have that installed, you 
can easily grab it through PHP's PECL interface.

Typically you'd install it this way:

Login as "admin" through SSH, then "su -" to gain "root" access. Then run this 
command:

	/usr/bin/pecl install MailParse

If you use the Solarspeed PHP package, then you need to run a slightly 
different command instead:

	/home/solarspeed/php/bin/pecl install MailParse

That will execute PECL, which will connect to the PECL databases to check if 
there is an application called "MailParse". If so, it will download, compile 
and install it.

For this you may need additional dependencies such as the gcc compiler, 
autoconf, automake, make and sometimes even the delvel RPMs of certain 
libraries that your application will compile against. 

So if the PECL install fails, check the error message you get and see what's 
missing. 

Try a "yum install gcc autoconf automake make patch" to grab a few essentials 
that are typically needed for compiling anything and see if that then allows 
you to to suceed with the "PECL install" command. If not, read the 
documentation of the PECL module you try to install and see what it suggests.
