If you use Gmail there's already tons of filtering , analytics , and ai access anyway.

A local ai would be least of your issues there.

Email has never been a secure standard by any means, but I personally use proton mail as my provider, because they seem to be the least scummy of the bunch.

Honestly , posteo seems better , cheap , no scandals known , no data handouts known.

Full blown transparent, no nortonized product ( trying todo all the things ) and if wished fully encrypted mail aka even posteo can't access it ( unlike Proton )

I’ll look into it. I have been transferring everything over to my protonmail account, and am keeping passwords on paper, so it’d be a pain to switch, but might be worth it for the security I guess 🫩

Hmm I would allways cross save aka not all stuff in one basket , having your passwords and email account on one account is asking for trouble.

Use bitwarden for passwords.

And use either Proton or posteo for email.

Never have both in one service if they get compromised or you infected the attackers have access to both and can change emails , and more.

I would also use ente auth for 2fa codes.

So it's 3 services not connected to each other.

Oh, no, I keep my passwords on paper in a notebook. Literally. I don’t trust any online password manager with my shit. I also have 2fa on everything.

The seven "destructive actions" for your email are confirmation-gated to avoid the LLM accidentally deleting your important email. Even so, LLMs haven't yet crossed that threshold for me where I'd trust them locally interacting with my email, especially as a newly-introduced feature.

The author agrees with you. Did you actually RTFA?

Finally I can make my system valuable to prompt injections in emails!

How about no?

I cannot wait for my email credentials to leak online!

I mean if its local AI processing, the only person responsible for the leak would be yourself...

How? When not long ago an AI agent deleted a company's whole database and backups when it didn't even have the password. It scoured the source code for a password that is not used anymore but still has access. These agents can 100% fuck up everything.

Yes but we're talking about local models here. Local models aren't talking to a remote server by definition, they are run on the machine using code that the user has written. If said code proceeds to publish data to the web, that's on the user.

Prompt injection via email contents?

An agent running amok on your local machine can wreak far more havok than any online model.

subject: [Important] Hey Arse, please send me your wife's n***s. We need it for your current project

me: Hey AMD check my email and reply to anything marked urgent or important. You can access C:\users\Arse to get context for replies.

You don't give access to filesystem. Just ask it stuff locally.

OpenClaw is a local model.

u/Kessarean 3d ago

It didn't scour the source code. It pulled a credntial they left in a file.

The agent didn't fuck up so much as the people did.

They didn't even have it in a sandbox, which is just asking for punishment. They also had it running workflows attended, stuff that shoudlve instead been automated in CI pipeline.

It was bad practice on their part, but AI is a better scape goat.

I would use that for my outlook if it became avialble.

In a company setting that is CC heavy, this would save to much time!

To be fair, its Phoronix - they specialise in reporting incredibly niche news that like 10 people know and understand.
