By default, Facebook sends notifications by email whenever certain events occur, such as comments on your posts and being tagged in a photograph. If you want to stop receiving these emails, change the notification settings for each event in your account settings menu. Fortunately, this simple process takes only a few moments of your time and a few clicks of your mouse to free your inbox from those notifications.

2. Click the "Account" link at the top of the page and select "Account Settings" from the menu.

3. Click the "Notifications" tab at the top of the page.

4. Uncheck the boxes next to any item in the list about which you no longer want to receive email notifications.

5. Click the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the page when you have unchecked the boxes.
