(DataFlex) IMAP Auto-Refresh Office365 Access Token

See more Office365 Examples

Demonstrates how to automatically recover from an expired access token when OAuth2 authentication fails in the IMAP protocol. If the server responds with "NO AUTHENTICATE failed.", then we refresh the access token and retry.
