Create following executable script file:

$ cat /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/xmouse.sh

#!/bin/sh
# /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/xmouse.sh
# Required for the configuration of a 5-button mouse
/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

That works for my Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse® Explorer, though I
didn't set specific function on to the thumb buttons.

Isn't imwheel obsolete?
