Yes, it is precisely because I use a GNU/Linux desktop exclusively
that I need a way to fetch messages sent to my legacy accounts on these
proprietary services that I don't actually use.

In keeping with the robustness principle, to paraphrase Jon Postel, I
try to be "liberal in what services I fetch email from, and conservative
in using only free/libre software to send email".

I don't own a cell phone, so using phone "apps" isn't an option.
