How can I download the emails within Canvas to create a database?

Welcome to the Canvas Community!!!

There is not a native way to download emails (or Inbox) messages from Canvas.  There is an "Archive" feature that might be useful:

How do I archive a conversation as an instructor?  

The Canvas Inbox is not a traditional email system.

If you are comfortable with APIs, there is some functionality here:

Thanks, I really need to download the messages to create a database that demonstrates my response time to students. Do you have any suggestions to streamline the process? I have been going back and forth to cut and paste the information, but it is extremely labor intense and accident prone.

Thanks,
