Good morning, @meganmileski ...
This sounds like a request that you need to post over in the Feature Ideas area of the Community ... rather than where you've posted this question. You can go to PRODUCT >> IDEA CONVERSATIONS (at the top of any page here in the Community), and then you'll find a "Suggest an idea" button where you can submit this idea.
Keep in mind that Canvas does not have e-mail. They have an "Inbox" where users can send/receive messages. This is different than e-mail because you cannot receive messages from friends/family in the Canvas Inbox that are not taking classes at your school. You can configure your Canvas profile notifications, however, to get copies of those messages delivered to your e-mail address from your Canvas Inbox You can also choose the frequency of those notifications.
I hope this will help a bit. Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
