comment Is there a web-based email client comparable to Gmail that supports IMAP?
you could look here for some options: sourceforge.net/directory/os:linux/freshness:recently-updated/… - maybe roundcube or t-dah.

comment Exclude specific Facebook people from the friend suggestion feature
This would be a nice feature, you could filter out those you add for games versus those you actually know.

comment Port a non-supported number to Google Voice
It is the accepting carrier that needs the switching equipment that can handle the change-over. The phone company I work for can port out to mobile companies, but we cannot accept mobile numbers for port-ins. It may just be that Google can not accept mobile numbers or that the vendor that Google uses has an issue with US Cellular (I'm not sure what number vendor the two of those use). Porting is tricky and there is a LOT that goes on behind the scenes that most people have no visibility into.

comment Port a non-supported number to Google Voice
Not sure if this pertains to Google voice in particular, so I'll just make it a comment and not an answer, but there is difference between local numbers and mobile numbers and not all vendors can port between the two.

comment I could not log into Yahoo email for the past three days!
If its an authentication problem, and not just with webmail, then POP3 might still fail, but it is worth a shot. Trying something will statistically provide better results than doing nothing. If it is an authentication problem and is only for the east coast servers, try a west coast proxy server to access yahoo, it might route you to a different server that might work.
