Anyone using an LLM to filter email?

Question

I have a pretty large backlog of unread emails. I was hoping to use an LLM to help me categorize. Most of it is spam ("marketing emails")I would love it if I could use a local model (I am running ollama locally), but I would settle for a hosted model if needed.Anyone here have a good experience going down this route?

I have not, but I just asked chatGPT and it, chatGPT, suggested a starting point solution.
I asked:
how would I:
- use IMAP to read email from my email server
- call a local LLM (say ollama) to classify the email
- file each email into one of N folders or maildirs or mboxes ?
and received a reasonable python program.
