For perl (based on what's installed here, I presume it's):
  perl-devel
  perl-Glib-devel
would you mind trying that? If more is needed, we'd need to dig into
the detail.

For python (based on ..):
  python-devel
but since you have it.. I don't remember what more is needed :-/, I
must admit that perl and python deps are often a nightmare since they
imply lots of packages, not always the same across distros, nothing
obvious.

For fancy:
  webkitgtk-devel
you might want to check how the RPM for centos is build and what are its dependencies, for instance:
  https://centos.pkgs.org/7/epel-testing-x86_64/claws-mail-plugins-fancy-3.11.1-5.el7.x86_64.rpm.html
there, you can see that it 'requires' libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0()(64bit), which is:
  https://centos.pkgs.org/7/epel-x86_64/webkitgtk-2.4.9-1.el7.x86_64.rpm.html
(install the -devel one).

For pdf_viewer:
poppler-devel
and probably compat-poppler022-glib, if what I see at:
  https://centos.pkgs.org/7/epel-testing-x86_64/claws-mail-plugins-pdf-viewer-3.11.1-5.el7.x86_64.rpm.html
leads me to :
  https://centos.pkgs.org/7/centos-x86_64/compat-poppler022-glib-0.22.5-4.el7.x86_64.rpm.html

You might want to install libical 2.0.0 from the sources, for
vcalendar, see https://github.com/libical/libical/releases. I didn't
try the 3.x.

You might also want to install a recent ytnef from the sources
in /usr/local/ (see https://github.com/Yeraze/ytnef/releases).
