Turn off email notifications
Facebook sends you email to your primary
email address they have for you whenever you get a post, or some
other type of notification. If you have it set to notify you on any
event, your email will get full of replies. These replies are from
Facebook and not from the group or page that you are a member of.
If you do not want to get notification whenever someone posts on a
page or group your involved in, you can set it up to only give you
Summary and important updates only. When you set it to summary and
important updates only, you will get much less email. However there
is no way to completely turn off email notifications entirely.
To change notification to summary and important updates instead of an email whenever someone posts, do the following.
