What is configured autonomy?
Configured autonomy is a standing preference you switch on, so a routine kind of mail gets handled without asking you every time. The configuration is your authorization, exactly as with a human assistant. Every one of these starts off, and nothing is handled for you until you turn one on.
The behaviors you can configure under Account → Automation are: silence a sender who floods you with repeat notifications, silence obvious bulk marketing so it skips your inbox, report obvious spam, and file mail you usually deal with later under a reminder. Handling your mail this way is part of the Lonzo Assistant plan, which is coming soon — until then the controls are visible but inactive: they don't yet record a choice, and nothing acts on your mailbox on its own.
It never sends mail on your behalf on its own
No standing preference makes Lonzo send anything — including an unsubscribe request. Obvious bulk marketing gets silenced instead, so it skips your inbox. If you want a sender unsubscribed, ask on one of their emails and that request is sent then.
The safeguards are non-negotiable: each configured action is reversible with one tap, always recorded in Activity, and saying "stop doing this" disables the behavior immediately and reverses what can be reversed. Autonomy is something you grant over time, and once the plan is available you can switch any of these behaviors on or off whenever you want.
