I admit that this is pedantic, but you should really use
ADDRESS instead of EMAIL. ADDRESS more correctly complements
PASSWORD. But in any event, you did do well by spelling them
as constants, which implicitly means: "Hey, don't mutate
these values!"

Is that last line doing what you think it's doing? Let's
break it down... Basically you have one condition, that is
composed of two main components:
Component-1: EMAIL in str(msg[header])
and
Component-2: str(msg[header])
"Component-1" will return a Boolean. So in essence you're
asking:
boolean = EMAIL in str(msg[header])
if boolean in str(msg[header]):
do_something()
Is that really what you wanted to do? I'm not sure how you
will ever find a Boolean in a string. Unless i've missed
something...? It will also help readability if you only
applied str() to the value *ONCE*. But, maybe you don't
even need the str() function???
