In selenium. How do I click the second index/list using Span class?

Question

 self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[@class='bog']").click()

This is my current code. Using this method. I can click on the first email of my gmail inbox. I want to then click on the second email or the third. But I'm unsure how to do it

self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[@class='bog' and @xpath='2']").click()

I tried this method but it didn't work. Using chropath. I was able to search for "bog" and then find out a list of all the emails and each one showed an:

"<span id=":2y" class="bog" xpath="1"></span>"
"<span id=":2y" class="bog" xpath="2"></span>"

Any help regarding this issue? I would like to able to click on the second email of my inbox every time.

You can use xpath indexing :

for this xpath :

//span[@class='bog']

you can have index like below :

(//span[@class='bog'])[1]

will represent 1st element. [2] will represent 2nd element and [3] will represent 3rd element and so on..

in code :

self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//span[@class='bog'])[1]").click()

or

self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("(//span[@class='bog'])[2]").click()

Check this you change the index from [2],[3],[4] it will access the particular element on that particular index

self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("((//span[@class='bog'])[2])").click()
