    //   "refresh_token": "AIenVXETSo0jklFBVkPS8vVm8E.Ej9ToRG.xDbDYmZ65WIs5t6CZhDrD",
    //   "expires_in": 3600,
    //   "token_type": "bearer",
    //   "xoauth_yahoo_guid": "HGDQCVF5JB4YDOWHITQJFBHCWA"

    // A non-empty reference name argument is the name of a mailbox or a level of
    // mailbox hierarchy, and indicates the context in which the mailbox
    // name is interpreted.
