Trying to figure out how to enable the PHP IMAP on my GoDaddy webserver I searched but really can't find a clear answer
Info:
Hosting - Web - Deluxe - Linux
PHP Version 5.3.24
MySQL Server version: 5.0.96
I created a php5.ini file in the root of the server with the following entries:
file_uploads = On
post_max_size = 100M
upload_max_filesize = 100M
extension=imap.so
php-imap.dll
OK so I called GoDaddy and was told that IMAP extensions are not available on a shared hosting account and I'm not going to upgrade to a virtual host machine ... unreal... so what functionality will I lose since this isn't available to me?
I found this thread but I am still searching and reading... any help or advice would be appreciated.

You wont be able to use POP or IMAP to poll for mail.
GoDaddy last time I checked support custom php.ini files though, so you may be able to enable the extension with a custom php.ini file. You would want to check with them or try it to see if it works.
Well isn't that just great news : I do know that adding a php5.ini to the root works because it effects my blog media upload size but I am still not sure about this whole e-mail thing... and the 2 guys I spoke with at Google had no idea.
I know I can send out because I did a test e-mail and it worked but I am confused on the rest
