    I’m delighted to get to introduce you to ComputerCraft: Tweaked (modern fork).

    https://tweaked.cc/

    Email client and server in Lua

    https://github.com/GabrielleAkers/cc-email

    The whole project is a great way to get started with understanding computers, programming, and networking in an environment that appeals to the iPad generation- one that knows less about technology than its predecessors. It’s about making computers useful towards your economic and military interests with automation. You build equipment from scratch and connect it any way you please.

    For this email approach:

    > get 3 advanced computers and 3 ender modems then follow the instructions in the readme in the repo

    > the first two computer/modems are for the auth server and email server then the third is to actually use the email client to send emails. i guess it's 2+X where X is the number of computers you want to send/receive emails on
