I'm not sure what you mean.

> You will no longer use a password for access (with the exception of app passwords)

I'm not seeing anywhere that I'd need to pay money to use OAuth via an app like Thunderbird or another email client. That app would either need to support using OAuth to let the user auth and get credentials, or use an app password.

Right, but Thunderbird had to pay up and set themselves as a middleman to allow this. My point is that local LLMs might not have that many advantages for personal data because most of that data doesn't live locally on your computer, to begin with. I guess an argument could be made that running them locally prevents an AI provider from gobbling up ALL of your data. On the other hand, Google already has most of our my data: emails, youtube, gmail, etc.
