Refresh GMail SMTP OAuth2 Access Token

See more OAuth2 Examples

Demonstrates how to refresh an access token for sending email via GMail (SMTP). Go

    success := false

    // 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.

    // It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token for GMail (one with a scope for sending email).
