Office365 Send Email from Shared Mailbox

See more Office365 Examples

Demonstrates how to send email from a shared mailbox, from smtp.office365.com using OAuth2 authentication. C#

bool success = false;

//  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

//  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.

//  In case of shared mailbox access using OAuth, the application needs to obtain the access token on behalf of a user
//  but replace the SMTP username with the email address of the shared mailbox.

//  Login using the shared mailbox email address for the username, and the access token for the password.
//  See Office 365 SASL XOAUTH2 format 

//  Use your Office365 email address for the SmtpUsername.
