Office365 Send Email from Shared Mailbox

See more Office365 Examples

Demonstrates how to send email from a shared mailbox, from smtp.office365.com using OAuth2 authentication. B4X

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

'  An Office365 OAuth2 access token must first be obtained prior
'  to running this code.

'  Getting the OAuth2 access token for the 1st time requires the O365 account owner's 
'  interactive authorizaition via a web browser.  Afterwards, the access token
'  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
'  Refresh Office365 SMTP/IMAP/POP3 OAuth2 Access Token

'  First get our previously obtained OAuth2 access token.

'  In case of shared mailbox access using OAuth, the application needs to obtain the access token on behalf of a user
'  but replace the SMTP username with the email address of the shared mailbox.

'  Login using the shared mailbox email address for the username, and the access token for the password.
'  See Office 365 SASL XOAUTH2 format 

'  Use your Office365 email address for the SmtpUsername.
