I use a MacBook Pro as remote terminal to a Linux VM with mosh and iTerm2. In the VM I run tmux, and emacs runs in one of the windows. (Other windows run shell sessions in the Linux VM, the Linux server the VM runs on, and the MacBook Pro, respectively.)
For email I have used VM (<http://www.nongnu.org/viewmail/>) for 24 years. It does a great job of rendering HTML mail in a text console. When I choose a URL (whether HTML or in plaintext), Emacs sends the URL to the Mac's browser over ssh.
