Hello! I have two questions about how my Canvas Inbox links to the external email listed in my Canvas Profile. In section 1.6 of the "Growing with Canvas" training, it says, regarding the Inbox: "Easy to use: Connected to your main email address; can receive copies of your Canvas Conversations at the email or any Notification pathway and answer right from there. Will appear to students that the communication was all contained in Canvas."
So, two questions:
1) Is my Canvas Inbox for a given course automatically connected to my linked email or do I have to set that up? If the latter, how do I do that?
2) If I reply to a message in my Canvas Inbox by replying to the copy sent to my external email FROM my external email, the student who receives my reply will think that I replied to their message from within my Inbox, not from my external email? If not, what does the last sentence of the quote above mean?
Thank you!
Mark
