Moodle: Blocks: Make Moodle Mail Unavailable to Students (Faculty)

This article has not been updated recently and may contain dated material.

Instructors can change the settings in Moodle Mail to restrict students from sending email through the course. If disabled, students will see the Moodle Mail block in their course, but will not be able to use it. They will have to use LSU mail or other email service instead.  This setting is found in the Moodle Mail Configuration menu.


Making Moodle Mail Unavailable to Students:

  1. Login to Moodle and select your course.
  2. Locate the Moodle Mail block on the Moodle course page and click on the Configuration button.
