IMAP Auto-Refresh Office365 Access Token

See more Office365 Examples

Demonstrates how to automatically recover from an expired access token when OAuth2 authentication fails in the IMAP protocol. If the server responds with "NO AUTHENTICATE failed.", then we refresh the access token and retry. Tcl

# An Office365 OAuth2 access token must first be obtained prior
# to running this code.

# Getting the OAuth2 access token for the 1st time requires the O365 account owner's 
# interactive authorizaition via a web browser.  Afterwards, the access token
# 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.
