' 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"
' 	}
