Stop Facebook from Cluttering Your Inbox

[ParamouR]

There's a fine line between awesome and annoying. Take Facebook: Most of the time, it's great, but a few things about the service drive me crazy.

For example, whenever I leave a comment on someone else's wall, Facebook e-mails me every single time someone else leaves a comment on that same wall. This can lead to a considerable amount of unwanted junk in my inbox.

Fortunately, you can turn off these kinds of notifications--you just have to know where to look. Here's where:

1. Go to Facebook.

2. In the upper-right corner, click Account, Account Settings.

3. Click the Notifications tab.

4. Scroll way, way down until you find the Wall Comments section.

5. Clear the checkbox (the one for e-mail) next to Comments after you on a Wall story.

6. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Save Changes.


While you're at it, review the countless other ways Facebook sends e-mail notifications and turn off the ones you don't want.

There! Now Facebook is a little less annoying and a little more awesome. (That's right, I said it.)

Adding a filter (and a separate folder) is a good idea too,
especially if you need to be always in-the-know.

If they find you're using a disposable e-mail address and block it, you're basically locked out of your account.

no, they tell you to change the address but nothing happens. there's even a firefox addon to block that very reminder

They changed that since I was a member then.

There should be a link at the bottom of those messages to stop receiving those damn e-mails. I know there is.
