Dim success As Boolean

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
// This example loads the JSON access token file 
// saved by this example: Get Yahoo Mail OAuth2 Access Token

// The access token JSON looks like this:

// {
//   "access_token": "kCVQdnOdul...LHucA--",
//   "refresh_token": "AIenVWETSo0jklFBVkPS8vVm8E.Dj9ToRG.xDbDYmZ55WIs5t6CZhDkD",
//   "expires_in": 3600,
//   "token_type": "bearer",
