Demonstrates how to send email from smtp.office365.com using OAuth2 authentication. React Native

  // 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 authorization via a web browser.  Afterwards, the access token
  // can be repeatedly refreshed automatically (with no user interaction).

  // 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.
