  From this (your OP) and following posts, it seems your main concern is
your e-mails with '2FA' (read: 2SV) codes ending up in your (IMAP) Spam
folder without you being notified.
 
  Can't you just manually 'poll' your Spam folder after you've entered
your login credentials at the website? Or doesn't the Android mail
client you're using have such a manual-poll facility?

[Fast forward:]

  FWIW, I hardly use e-mail on my phone, but I have the BlueMail and
K-9 Mail apps and both can manually poll my Spam folder.

[Rewind:]

 
The only time I use the webmail client is to define server-side rules,
not for checking for e-mails.
 
My Android e-mail client (MS Outlook) uses IMAP PUSH.  If it also polls,
it doesn't let me specify the interval.  I don't see it offers a manual
poll option.  I don't use the Gmail app; however, it makes you select
between IMAP PUSH, or a poll interval, not both.  I didn't see a manual
poll instigate in the Gmail app.

  Not an ideal solution, but as you're using IMAP, you could use
BlueMail or K-9 Mail as an *extra* mail client and do the manual poll
with that. After all, it's just a fallback in case you don't see/get the
email with the 2SV code in your Inbox.
