# See Get Yahoo Mail OAuth2 Access Token for Desktop App 
# for sample code showing how to obtain a Yahoo Mail access token.

# In this example, our access token was previously saved to the following file which contains JSON like this:

#   "refresh_token": "AIenVXETSo0jklFBVkPS8vVm8E.Ej9ToRG.xDbDYmZ65WIs5t6CZhDrD",
