GMail SMTP Send using Previously Obtained OAuth2 Access Token

See more GMail SMTP/IMAP/POP Examples

Demonstrates how to send email using GMail and OAuth2 authentication. This example assumes an OAuth2 access token was previously obtained. 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.

    // 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"
    // 	}
    //
