"Less secure app access denied" Solution: You must enable 2FA on your HMC Google account and generate an App Password if using IMAP. Better yet, switch to Gmail API (Option 2 above).

In this comprehensive guide, we will break down what the HMC Mail Checker is, why the "22" update matters, and most importantly, how to make it —faster, more secure, and infinitely more efficient. What is HMC Mail Checker? Historically, Harvey Mudd College (part of the Claremont Colleges Consortium) provides email services primarily through Google Workspace for Education (Gmail) or Microsoft Exchange, depending on the department. However, many students have utilized third-party "mail checker" applications—lightweight desktop widgets or scripts—to monitor their HMC inbox without opening a heavy browser tab.

If you are a student, professor, or staff member at Harvey Mudd College (HMC) , you know that email is the central nervous system of campus life. From problem sets and clinic meeting minutes to HR announcements and event invites, missing an email is not an option.
