GMail IMAP Authentication using OAuth2 Access Token

See more GMail SMTP/IMAP/POP Examples

Demonstrates how to do IMAP OAuth2 authentication for GMail (or any other IMAP mail server supporting OAuth2 authentication). This example assumes an OAuth2 access token was previously obtained. DataFlex

Use ChilkatAx-win32.pkg

Procedure Test
    Boolean iSuccess
    Handle hoJson
    String sAccessToken
    Handle hoImap
    String sTemp1

    Move False To iSuccess

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

    // See Get GMail IMAP OAuth2 Access Token for Desktop App 
    // for sample code showing how to obtain a GMail IMAP read/write access token.

    // 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"
    // 	}
    //
