im trying to play STO on my laptop but its giving me this "one time verification code nonsense, my issue is that its taking too long for any code to be sent to my email by you people and by the time i do receive it the code becomes invalid.
If you check the mail header you can see where the delay occurs. Every node the mail passes through puts a timestamp in the header when they receive it, so it's pretty simple. I run my own mail server and I receive those mails within seconds. An educated guess is that your ISP is using some antispam mechanism that either isn't capable of handling the load or adds an intentional delay (as in greylisting).
