The Inbox shows Messages and Announcements that have been sent to you.
Messages can be sent as emails and/or as Announcements from within a Course or Event. Messages can be sent to Groups via the Course or Event screens or to individuals as an email from the Inbox.

Email or Announcement
- Ready to post is the default setting for all emails and/or announcements. Uncheck the box if you are not ready to send the message.

If a message is selected as an Announcement only, the communication stays within Leo.
If a message is selected as an Email only, it will be sent to the User’s email address that is listed on their User profile.
If both options are selected, the recipient will receive an Email (at the Email address listed in their User Profile) and a copy (of the Announcement) will be in their Inbox.
