// 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.
