Hi  @davidj1038  Welcome to the Canvas Community!

For the record, Canvas does not have email, but it does have a message function called "Inbox".  Learn more at

• How do I send a message to a user in a course in the Inbox as a student? 
• How do I send a message to a user in a group in the Inbox as a student?

I hope this helps,

Kelley

Hi David,

Are you referring to the Inbox?  If you are, you simply click on the Inbox icon in the Global Navigation column.  When it opens, click on the pencil icon in the top right corner of your screen.  This icon allows you to "Compose a new message".  When the "Compose Message" window opens , select which course you would like to email, put in your subject, and then type your message into the body.  When you are finished, click the blue "Send" button.  You're all set!
