// 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
