ClassMail Canvas Integration

EEE+ ClassMail archives are now accessible within UCI Canvas. This tool allows you to view messages that your instructor has emailed to the class through the ClassMail list.

  1. Navigate to one of your Canvas course spaces.
  2. In the course Navigation menu, click the ClassMail Archive link.
  3. On the following screen, you will find all ClassMail messages that were sent to a section that is connected with this Canvas course space.

    Please Note: When ClassMail is filtered by All Sections, you may see duplicate messages if the same ClassMail email was sent to multiple sections. Additionally, the Canvas ClassMail Tool will not reflect messages your instructor sent through other methods, such as the Canvas Inbox.

If you are unable to see the ClassMail archive within a Canvas course space, it’s possible you do not have the required permissions. Please see the ClassMail Access section below for additional details.
