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

    -- It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
    -- This example loads the JSON access token file 
    -- saved by this example: Get Office365 SMTP/IMAP/POP3 OAuth2 Access Token

    -- Note: Refreshing an access token does not require user-interaction.  
    -- Only the act of getting the initial access token requires interactive authorization from the Office365 account owner 
    -- (i.e. a browser is displayed and the account owner authorizes access by the app).

    -- Once you have the initial access token, it can be refreshed over and over again with no limits.
    -- A typical strategy is to write your application to automatically refresh the access token 
    -- when authentication fails, and then retry the operation with the new access token.
    -- For example, see Auto-Refresh O365 Access Token when Sending Email
