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

'  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",
'    "expires_in": 3600,
'    "token_type": "bearer",
'    "xoauth_yahoo_guid": "HGDQCVF5JB4YDOWHITQJFBHCWA"
'  }
