Inbox (Conversations)
The Inbox (also known as Conversations) in Canvas works very similar to e-mail, except only people who use Canvas can use the Canvas Inbox. By default your Canvas messages are forwarded to your Cuesta (Outlook). However, you can set your Canvas notification preferences to forward your Canvas messages out to a regular Email Account (like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail/Outlook, etc).
Note you can also email your students from MyCuesta using your roster Links to an external site..
