  The changes outlined on this page may take up to four hours to fully sync to with your TUmail account.

• Canvas
  Your primary email address in Canvas is your AccessNet-username @temple.edu. If you change your Display Email Alias ( as described above under Create an Alias) , you should add it to Canvas as a secondary email address. Otherwise, you will not be able to reply directly to messages that Canvas sends to your TUmail account because Canvas will not recognize the sender email address. See instructions for students / instructors .

• Listserv Mailing Lists
  When you subscribe to a Listserv mailing list, you are identified by your From address. If you change your Display Email Alias ( as described above under Create an Alias), your From address will also be changed, and you may not be able to post messages to your lists. In order to post messages, you must use the same From address that you had when you subscribed.
