Office365 OAuth2 Access Token for SMTP, IMAP, POP

See more Office365 Examples

Demonstrates how to get an OAuth2 access token for use in the SMTP, IMAP, and POP3 protocols.

Note: It is only the initial access token that must be obtained interactively using a browser (see the code and comments below). Once the initial OAuth2 access token is obtained, then it can refreshed indefinitely with no user interaction.
