Yes, you can turn off email notifications, but you won’t ever stop getting messages in your FB inbox. It really pisses me off that Facebook still hasn’t given a feature that lets you unsubscribe from group emails.

You can turn of the “notifications on e-mail” function under setings on the facebook site. No more mails from facebook in your g-mail inbox. You still get the new message notification inside facebook however which is annoying too.

@Louise: You’re probably just thinking of the home page – I was getting messages (and emails in my personal inbox) from people who I never even added as friends!

After about a dozen of these sorts of episodes, I removed myself from Facebook, vowing never to return. Not only was the spam annoying in its quantity, the quality of the “communications” from “friends” was just junk. “Charles is a cheetah! What animal are YOU?” Jeez, I’m 45 years old. Who CARES about these silly games?

Thanks for leaving your link on our blog; I’ll be sure to check back on yours again!

This is still an issue, and now I get endless replies from my 15 year old step sister and all her friends about her 16th birthday party in June!

The gmail filter is what i’m doing to solve this too, but geez facebook get with it, I even de-friended my step sister to make the incesant 15 year old rambling stop but that didn’t help.

Oh and btw her and her friends put their age as 18 to get on FB, even though in their school section it says graduating HS in 2012. So. Annoying. Esp since I’ve been on FB since it uh like came out.

@joseph: That’s exactly what I did – it was seemingly the only way to end the madness. Fortunately, the conversation appeared to have ended within a few more weeks.

Yeah, that’s crap. I can’t stand the facebook notification emails.

You can, however setup a filter in gmail to delete them if they’re from facebook.
