// An Office365 OAuth2 access token must first be obtained prior
// to running this code.

// Getting the OAuth2 access token for the 1st time requires the O365 account owner's 
// interactive authorizaition via a web browser.  Afterwards, the access token
// can be repeatedly refreshed automatically.

// See the following examples for getting and refreshing an OAuth2 access token

// Get Office365 SMTP/IMAP/POP3 OAuth2 Access Token
// Refresh Office365 SMTP/IMAP/POP3 OAuth2 Access Token

// First get our previously obtained OAuth2 access token.
