In a nutshell, monitoring email is concentrating on what is really

(For my children, 12-16, email is pretty much a last resort if other
methods aren't available, I think that's pretty common nowadays).
It's funny how things change per generation in tech. Even though I have a smart
phone if I really have to compose a message I want a keyboard. And for
communication I so prefer email because it can truly work on all connected
devices where chat, and texts and other apps I am more at the mercy of an app or
proprietary api, meanwhile with email I sync my mutt config and I have the
terminal and vi style interface to work with that can be the same everywhere.
I am now the fuddy duddy...

Lol... :-) Perhaps showing the kids a DEC VT100 style terminal might get
their attention (though in good way or bad??) as through serial port
text based mail will work great on those; Mutt or Alpine etc...
Though this is completely off-topic now! ;-)
