' 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

' The ListMailboxes method returns a Mailboxes object
' that contains the collection of mailboxes.
' It accepts two arguments: a refName and a wildcardedMailbox.

Dim refName As String
refName = ""
' refName is usually set to an empty string.
' 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.

' Select all mailboxes matching this pattern:
Dim wildcardedMailbox As String
wildcardedMailbox = "*"

Dim mboxes As Mailboxes
Set mboxes = imap.ListMailboxes(refName,wildcardedMailbox)
