Hi @YvanTorres ...

I'll just add to the excellent information you received from @Ron_Bowman. Please keep in mind that Canvas does not have e-mail. Rather, the Cavnas Inbox is an internal messaging system to connect with others who are enrolled in the same courses that you are. It is different than e-mail because you cannot send messages to your friends and family from the Canvas Inbox because they are, most likely, not enrolled in the courses that you are. Similarly, you cannot receive messages from your friends and family inside the Canvas Inbox. All these kinds of communications would need to be done outside of Canvas using whatever e-mail software you have on your smart phone or computer.

All this being said, you can configure your Canvas account to get notified via e-mail when someone messages you via the Canvas Inbox. This is all done via the "Account" >> "Notifications" screen in Canvas. And, if you want, you can add additional e-mail addresses to your account so you can get notifications to those e-mail addresses, too. You can add additional e-mail addresses on the "Account" >> "Settings" screen. Once you do that, go back to your "Notifications" screen, and you'll see additional columns for each of the e-mail addresses you added from your "Settings" screen, and you can configure the frequency of those notifications there.

I hope this additional information helps to clear things up for you. Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

Course Pacing and allowing students to choose the order in which they address two topics, or which of several equivalent assignments to complete? Is it possible?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
How does "Participation: Course" + manually input start/end dates play with Course Pacing?
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Duplicate user being created in Canvas / Catalog
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas?

For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
