Can I be alerted (via email) that there is an inbox message?

[0615109905]

Is there a way to be alerted that there is a Canvas email inbox message?  Currently, I am only alerted to messages if I am actually logged into Canvas.  Periodically, a teacher will send a message that needs to be seen quickly, but I will not know unless I am logged on 24/7 and check. 

I would like to be able to get an email alert or alerted some other way when there is a new message.
