Personal messages from the teacher and other students will appear in your Inbox.
You can only send messages to teachers and students enrolled in your course.
You can recieve personal messages from Canvas forwarded to your student mail. You can even respond to messages from there.

1. A blue circle means the message is unread; an empty circle means the message has been read. You can click on the circle to move between unread and read.

2. A white tick on a black background means the message has been marked. A message can include multiple received and sent messages. In Canvas, these are called conversations.

3. In the reading pane, you can see the content of a marked message.

4. The Compose a new message button opens a blank message where you can select a course and then search for and browse possible recipients. You can send to multiple recipients. You can also send an individual message to each recipient (known as blind copy (bcc) in email applications).

Here you can:

5. Respond to the last person in the conversation.

6. Respond to everyone in the conversation.

7. Move a conversation to the archive.

8. Delete a conversation.

9. Choose a course, and filter by inbox/sent/archived and the search function.
