Demonstrates using OAuth2 authentication with pop.gmail.com.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    mailman.SetPopUsername("my_account@gmail.com")

    // If using OAuth2 authentication, leave the password empty.
    mailman.SetPopPassword("")

    // Load our previously obtained OAuth2 access token.
    // See Getting a GMail POP3 OAuth2 Access Token
