Hi @AsiaChristison ...
There are a couple different ways you can message (not the same as e-mail) your instructor via Canvas.
- Follow the instructions in How do I get help with Canvas as a student? ... where there is an option to contact your instructor
- Follow the instructions in How do I send a message to a user in a course in t... - Instructure Community - 502 (canvaslms.com).
As I mentioned, messaging via the Canvas Inbox is not the same as e-mail. For example, you cannot use the Inbox to e-mail your friends and family that are not taking the same course(s) that you are at your school. In addition, those friends and family members cannot send you e-mail that you'd receive via the Canvas Inbox.
However, all users can set up their individual "Notifications" so that they can choose to get notified about certain things within Canvas via e-mail. This is done through your "Account" >> "Notifications" screen in Canvas...where you can set up notifications for your entire Canvas account and for each course that you are taking within the Canvas LMS (Learning Management System).
I hope this will be helpful to you. Sing out if you have any questions...thanks!
