        The screenshots show the exact flow: Mail settings, the Rules tab, adding a rule that runs the AppleScript, then applying rules from the message list.

Why local LLMs matter

      
    
        
  1. Install and run Ollama on the same Mac where Mail will execute the rule.
    2. 
        
  2. Choose the strongest local model you want to run, such as gemma4:latest or another Ollama model available on your machine.
    3. 
        
  3. Leave the endpoint as http://localhost:11434/api/generate unless your Ollama setup is different.
    4. 
        
  4. Mail runs the AppleScript locally, and the script sends the message content to your local model so the LLM can judge phishing and spam patterns more intelligently.
    5. 
      

      

        This page does not depend on a hosted service. The actual value is local LLM-based phishing and spam blocking, with the script generator acting as the setup mechanism.
