#  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
#  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

#  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).

#  To send email, we'll POST to the following endpoint:
#  
#  POST /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/sendMail
#  
#  (The special keyword "me" may be used in place of a principal name.)
#  

#  The body of the POST request contains JSON that specifies the email subject, body,
#  recipients, etc.  This example will build the following JSON email:
#  

#  	{
#  	  "message": {
#  	    "subject": "Meet for lunch?",
#  	    "body": {
#  	      "contentType": "Text",
#  	      "content": "The new cafeteria is open."
#  	    },

#  	      {
#  	        "emailAddress": {
#  		  "name": "Chilkat Software",
#  	          "address": "admin@chilkat.io"

#  	      }
#  	    ]
#  	  },
#  	  "saveToSentItems": true
#  	}
#  

#  Build the above JSON.
