IMAP в Outlook Hotmail требует много попыток (не удалось войти в систему) для аутентификации ⇐ Python

[Anonymous]

У меня есть этот код для аутентификации/входа на hotmail.com через IMAP. Я включил пароль приложения для Hotmail/Outlook. Единственная проблема заключается в том, что аутентификация завершается неудачей с сообщением «Ошибка входа» в течение первых 5–10 попыток и, наконец, завершается успешно с тем же паролем приложения. Я не могу понять, почему это происходит.
import logging
import imaplib
import sys

# Your email credentials
email_user = "user1@hotmail.com"
email_pass = "APPPASSWORD"
IMAPserver = "outlook.office365.com"
ImapPort = 993

# Configure logging to write to both file and console
log_formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s', datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

# Console handler
log_handler_console = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
log_handler_console.setFormatter(log_formatter)

# Create a logger
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logger.addHandler(log_handler_console)

def connect_to_server(server, port):
try:
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(server, port)
logging.info(f"Connected to the email server {server}.")
return mail
except imaplib.IMAP4.error as e:
logging.error(f"Connection failed: {str(e)}")
return None

def login_with_retries(server, port, email_user, email_pass, max_retries=30, retry_delay=5):
for attempt in range(max_retries):
mail = connect_to_server(server, port)
if mail is None:
logging.error(f"Retrying connection in {retry_delay} seconds...")
time.sleep(retry_delay)
continue
try:

mail.login(email_user, email_pass)
logging.info(f"Logged into the email account {email_user}.")
return mail # Return the mail object if login is successful
except imaplib.IMAP4.error as e:
logging.error(f"LOGIN failed on attempt {attempt + 1} of {max_retries} (Retry in {retry_delay} seconds). Error: {str(e)}")
mail.logout() # Ensure proper logout before retrying connection
time.sleep(retry_delay)
logging.error("All login attempts failed. Check your email credentials and settings.")
return None # Return False if all attempts fail

try:
# Connect to server
mail = login_with_retries(IMAPserver, ImapPort, email_user, email_pass)

if mail is None:
# Handle login failure
raise RuntimeError("Failed to IMAP login after multiple attempts.")

# Select mailbox
mail.select("inbox")
logging.info("Mailbox inbox folder selected.")

except imaplib.IMAP4.error as e:
#print(f"An IMAP error occurred: {e}")
logging.error(f"An IMAP error occurred: {e}", exc_info=True)
wait_with_timeout(sleepError)
sys.exit(1)

except Exception as e:
#print(f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}")
logging.error(f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}", exc_info=True)
wait_with_timeout(sleepError)
sys.exit(1)

Когда я запускаю код, после нескольких попыток я вижу, что он успешен. Не знаете почему?
