* Use your previously obtained access token here:
* See the following examples for getting an access token:
*    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
*    Get Microsoft Graph OAuth2 Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).
*    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD v2.0 Endpoint).
*    Refresh Access Token (Azure AD Endpoint).

loSbResponse = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')

* In this example, we'd like to get the messages in the folder "/Inbox",
* but we must specify the corresponding folder_id.  The best way to do this is to create
* a local map of folderPaths-to-folderIds.
* This example does it:  Create Outlook Folder Map)
loHtFolderMap = CreateObject('Chilkat.Hashtable')
loSbMap = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
loSbMap.LoadFile("qa_data/outlook/folderMap.xml","utf-8")

* Get the ID for the "/Inbox" folder:

* In my test case, the raw JSON returned is shown below.
* Iterate over the messages to get information about each..

    loJson.I = i

    * This is the id for the email message.
