OTP Extraction (with timeout and SSL context)

import imaplib, ssl, re, time, email

EMAIL = '[REDACTED-EMAIL]'
PASSWORD = '[REDACTED]'

time.sleep(3)  # Wait for email delivery
ctx = ssl.create_default_context()
imap = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('secureimap.t-online.de', 993, ssl_context=ctx, timeout=15)
imap.login(EMAIL, PASSWORD)
imap.select('INBOX')
_, msgs = imap.search(None, 'FROM', 'apodex')
if msgs[0]:
    msg_id = msgs[0].split()[-1]
    _, data = imap.fetch(msg_id, '(RFC822)')
    raw = data[0][1].decode('utf-8', errors='ignore')
    msg = email.message_from_string(raw)
    body = ''
    if msg.is_multipart():
        for part in msg.walk():
            if part.get_content_type() == 'text/plain':
                body = part.get_payload(decode=True).decode('utf-8', errors='ignore')
                break
    else:
        body = msg.get_payload(decode=True).decode('utf-8', errors='ignore')
    codes = re.findall(r'\b\d{6}\b', body)
    if codes:
        otp = codes[0]
        print(f'OTP: {otp}')
imap.logout()

Subject Pattern

Apodex OTP emails have subject: Your Apodex verification code is XXXXXX

Pitfalls

Always use ssl_context=ctx to avoid SSL errors on Windows
Set timeout=15 — t-online.de IMAP can be slow
Wait 3-5 seconds after triggering OTP before checking IMAP
The email comes from noreply@apodex.ai, search with FROM 'apodex'
Passwords may start with @ — this is part of the password, not a separator
If get_payload(decode=True) returns bytes, decode with .decode('utf-8', errors='ignore')
Multipart emails need the walk() loop — flat get_payload() returns the container, not the text
