is there an email feature/tab?

Hi @ImaraMtafiti ...

It's not really e-mail ... as you cannot send/receive messages via Canvas to/from your friends/family because they are most likely not enrolled in the same classes that you are.  You can only send/receive messages from others who are enrolled in the same classes that you are.  All that being said, yes, you can use the Canvas Inbox.  Here is a video tutorial for you to watch:

Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
