I have a online professor with the first name of Tupelo and I'm not sure if I should address my e-mails as Mr. or Mrs. (The teacher has not made any distinction, nor is he/she listed under the Rate My Professors website).
Any help would be great to avoid an embrassing situation!

Just address this person as "Professor Tupelo".

Tupelo is the name of a tree and a city in Mississippi
in your situation just address the email to "Tupelo then last name" like Tupelo Mississippi

I am going to echo an earlier answerer's reply that it is a town in the southern United States.
The way people name their children really gives no clue as to whether or not it is male or female. For instance, I know both guys and girls named "Leslie." All of the girls named "Leslie" are tall and beautiful, and I think most of them are certified public accountants now.
If somebody can be named Minnesota Fats, you would assume that the person is a male. However, I know people that named a daughter Dakota.
My answer is ask the online professor. Absent asking, use "dear sir or madam"

If you do not need to use Mr, Ms, Mrs or Miss, don't.
Just use Prof or nothing.

I just start my emails with "Hello," if I'm unsure.
