If you want to enter user name and password using their class, try using below By.xpath() :-

public void testMercuryLogin1() throws Exception {

    driver.get(baseUrl + "/");

    WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);

    WebElement user = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("(.//input[@class = 'inputtext'])[1]")))

    user.sendKeys("tutorial");

    WebElement pass = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("(.//input[@class = 'inputtext'])[2]")))

    pass.sendKeys("tutorial");

  }

Note :- I'm not sure why are you going to enter value using class Name while it could be simply enter by using By.id("email") and By.id("pass"). I'm suggesting you from the performance perspective using By.id is much faster than other locator. So make it priority first if it is possible.

Hope it helps...:)
