Trying to fetch emails via python

I'm trying to fetch inboxs/emails from my gmail by using python. However, the code im using doesnt reem to run? I'm following a tutorial and my output is different. I'm new to python.

import email   
import imaplib

username = '****@gmail.com'
password = '****'

mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("imap.gmail.com")
mail.login(username, password)

mail.select("inbox")

When I run it via visual studio, I get this error.

I turned on let secure apps access feature on my google account, turned on imap on my gmail settings. What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to fetch emails from gmail and view inboxes and such.

Any help?

Can you try this? I added a print statement and trying to access the content.

import imaplib

username = '****@gmail.com'
password = '****'

mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(IMAP)
mail.login(USERNAME, PASSWORD)    

for i in mail.list()[1]:
  l = i.decode().split(' "/" ')
  print(l[0] + " = " + l[1]) #should print the mail content that you can use as needed
