You can give the name as parameter to the switch command

driver.switchTo().frame("ifmail");

I already tried with below two options but none are working : driver.switchTo().frame("ifmail"); AND driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//iframe[@id='ifmail'"))); – Krunal Patel May 03 '16 at 05:54
Now able to switch to the frame and able to extract text. – Krunal Patel May 04 '16 at 04:59

Hi please handle iframe like below

driver.switchTo().frame(int arg0); // Select a frame by its (zero-based) index. That is, if a page has multiple frames (more than 1), the first frame would be at index "0", the second at index "1" and so on.

List<WebElement> iframeElements = driver.findElements(By.tagName("iframe"));
```
System.out.println("The total number of iframes are " + iframeElements.size());
```
driver.switchTo().frame(String arg0); // Below is the example code snippet using frame a.Name. b.Id. c.WebElement
```
driver.switchTo().frame(frame);
System.out.println("Navigated to frame with name " + frame);
```
Switching back to Main page from Frame
```
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();
```

Hope this helps you

You can switch to frame by name, id, webelement , index

Here the HTML of frame:-

<iframe class="whc" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" id="ifmail" name="ifmail" src=""></iframe>

You id and name have the same name so you can switch it as below :-

driver.switchTo().frame("ifmail");

OR

driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//iframe[@id='ifmail']")));

Hope it will help you :)

i use the below code to get the text of email body:

 Thread.sleep(4000);
 driver.switchTo().frame("ifmail");

List<WebElement> elems = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("div#mailmillieu>div>div[dir='ltr']>div"));

for(WebElement element: elems){

    if(!element.getText().equals("")){
        System.out.println("body is "+element.getText());
    }

}

i use "" as there are some br and new line in my body. But it will show all the text of ur body.
