Open mails from Gmail inbox using selenium webdriver using java

Question

I need to open mails from Gmail inbox using selenium webdriver using java in Eclipse IDE. Is there a way to do this using xpath?

Answer 1

The ideal way would be to not use selenium to automate gmail but rather use the Gmail API (https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/#how_do_i_find_out_more ) to verify the message was successfully sent. If you do not want to learn how to check the messages at the API level I would highly recommend using the HTML version of gmail using this link as the initial url for gmail ( https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=html ) using gmail with javascript enabled will make it much harder to have a reliable test script.

Here is my solution without any thread.sleap() and etc.

   driver.get("https://mail.google.com/");                                                                                                                        

   WebElement userElement = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("identifierId")));                                                           
   userElement.click();                                                                                                                                           
   userElement.clear();

I agree to @sonhu and done the same. Sorted this problem using JAVAX MAIL API (not GMAIL API).

    public GmailUtils(String username, String password, String server, EmailFolder 
        emailFolder) throws Exception {
    Properties props = System.getProperties();
    props.setProperty("mail.store.protocol", "imap");
    props.setProperty("mail.imaps.partialfetch", "false");
    props.put("mail.imap.ssl.enable", "true");
    props.put("mail.mime.base64.ignoreerrors", "true");

    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
    Store store = session.getStore("imap");
    store.connect("imap.gmail.com", 993, "<your email>", "<your password>");

    Folder folder = store.getFolder(emailFolder.getText());
    folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);

    System.out.println("Total Messages:" + folder.getMessageCount());
    System.out.println("Unread Messages:" + folder.getUnreadMessageCount());

    messages = folder.getMessages();

    for (Message mail : messages) {
        if (!mail.isSet(Flags.Flag.SEEN)) {

            System.out.println("***************************************************");
            System.out.println("MESSAGE : \n");

            System.out.println("Subject: " + mail.getSubject());
            System.out.println("From: " + mail.getFrom()[0]);
            System.out.println("To: " + mail.getAllRecipients()[0]);
            System.out.println("Date: " + mail.getReceivedDate());
            System.out.println("Size: " + mail.getSize());
            System.out.println("Flags: " + mail.getFlags());
            System.out.println("ContentType: " + mail.getContentType());

Hi plz try like this below code checks unread mail only

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub. 

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","D:\\eclipseProject\\StackOverFlow\\chromedriver_win32 (1)\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.manage().window().maximize();

driver.get("https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?");

// gmail login
driver.findElement(By.id("Email")).sendKeys("your gmail username");
driver.findElement(By.id("next")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("Passwd")).sendKeys("your gmail password");
driver.findElement(By.id("signIn")).click();

// some optional actions for reaching gmail inbox
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@title='Google apps']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("gb23")).click();

// now talking un-read email form inbox into a list
List<WebElement> unreademeil = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@class='zF']"));

// Mailer name for which i want to check do i have an email in my inbox 
String MyMailer = "Stack over flow";

// real logic starts here
for(int i=0;i<unreademeil.size();i++){
    if(unreademeil.get(i).isDisplayed()==true){
        // now verify if you have got mail form a specific mailer (Note Un-read mails)
        // for read mails xpath loactor will change but logic will remain same
        if(unreademeil.get(i).getText().equals(MyMailer)){
            System.out.println("Yes we have got mail form " + MyMailer);
            // also you can perform more actions here 
            // like if you want to open email form the mailer
            break;
        }else{
            System.out.println("No mail form " + MyMailer);
        }
    }

//open a mail from the gmail inbox.
List<WebElement> a = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[@class='yW']/span"));
            System.out.println(a.size());
            for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++) {
                System.out.println(a.get(i).getText());
                if (a.get(i).getText().equals("Support")) //to click on a specific mail.
                    {                                           
                    a.get(i).click();
