There are very convenient tools to do https easily these days, e.g. Caddy. You can use it to reverse proxy any http server and it will do the cert stuff for you automatically.

Ofc, but you have to be quite techsavy to know this and to set this up. It's also cumbersome in many low-tech situations. There is certificate revocation, I would really like to see the threat model here. I am not even sure if automation helps or just shifts the threat vector to certificate issuing.

You can probably do this fairly easily already, like this:

- Fetch your emails using any of the common local mail sync tools

- Some processing to clean up the plaintext version, may not be necessary even

- Send it to an LLM to extract a link

- Open up a headless browser, trigger something like SingleFile to extract its content.

Though you'll have to keep the cookie refreshed, but if it is initially logged in, this should be fine since you can also program something to keep refreshing every once in a while.
