Procedure Test
    Boolean iSuccess
    Handle hoJson
    String sAccessToken
    Handle hoMailman
    Variant vEmail
    Handle hoEmail
    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 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:
    // {
    //   "access_token": "kCVQdnOdul...LHucA--",
    //   "refresh_token": "AIenVXETSo0jklFBVkPS8vVm8E.Ej9ToRG.xDbDYmZ65WIs5t6CZhDrD",
    //   "expires_in": 3600,
    //   "token_type": "bearer",
    //   "xoauth_yahoo_guid": "HGDQCVF5JB4YDOWHITQJFBHCWA"
    // }
