I am using following code
driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(By.tagName("iframe")));
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[starts-with(@class,'editable')]")).click();---->xpath of Body

but its not working.
Pls let me know whats wrong here...!!

Try this & let me know if it doesn't work for you.

driver.switchTo().frame(driver.findElement(
   By.xpath("//iframe[contains(@tabindex,'1') and contains(@frameborder,'0')]"))); //Switching to iframe
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//body[@role='textbox']")).sendKeys("XXXXXXXXXX");    //Typing text into Email body
driver.switchTo().defaultContent();        //switching back out from iframe

Thanks,

Srikanth

I would suggest that you don't try to write automation against gmail unless you work for google. There are a bunch of threads as to why you shouldn't 

Here is one

Thank you Srikanth! 

I'm taking Oscar.Rieken's comments to heart, but it this does work (now) and I'm glad you showed us how.
