See more GMail SMTP/IMAP/POP Examples

Demonstrates how to send email using GMail and OAuth2 authentication. This example assumes an OAuth2 access token was previously obtained. Tcl

load ./chilkat.dll

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

# See Get GMail SMTP Access Token 
# for sample code showing how to obtain a GMail SMTP access token for desktop apps.

# In this example, our access token was previously saved to the following file which contains JSON like this:
# 	{
# 	 "access_token": "ya39.Ci-XA_C5bGgRDC3UaD-h0_NeL-DVIQnI2gHtBBBHkZzrwlARkwX6R3O0PCDEzRlfaQ",
# 	 "token_type": "Bearer",
# 	 "expires_in": 3600,
# 	 "refresh_token": "1/r_2c_7jddspcdfesrrfKqfXtqo08D6Q-gUU0DsdfVMsx0c"
# 	}
