I run termux on my phone so I can access my home Linux system's command line to read E-Mail, Usenet etc. My home system runs as an always on server and gets mail delivered to a traditional mail spool by Postfix and also runs 'leafnode' a small NNTP server. Thus I am totally independent of gmail or anything like that. I normally use my laptop to ssh to my home system to read E-Mail and Usenet, Termux on Android just gives me a smaller, lighter way to do the same if I don't have my laptop with me. -- Chris Green
