I have a Hotmail/Yahoo/Gmail/etc. account and have not been receiving mail from my instructor, what's wrong?

Blackboard sends mail to your csustan.edu account using the Bcc field to ensure user privacy.
If you forwarded your CSUStan email to another account, that provider may not accept the message as their way of limiting spam and protecting your account.
Check your csustan.edu email account account for email from your instructors.
