// 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).
