    -- 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

    -- First get our previously obtained OAuth2 access token.
