(SQL Server) POP3 Auto-Refresh Office365 Access Token

See more Office365 Examples

Demonstrates how to automatically recover from an expired OAuth2 access token when OAuth2 authentication fails in the POP3 protocol. If the server responds with "-ERR Authentication failure: unknown user name or bad password.", then we refresh the access token and retry.
