    // interactive authorization via a web browser.  Afterwards, the access token
    // can be repeatedly refreshed automatically (with no user interaction).

    // 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
