&gt; It&#x27;s easy enough to disable all these emails in FB&#x27;s notification preferences.<p>Actually no, I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s even possible.  In the notification preferences, it appears you don&#x27;t get a list of <i>all</i> notifications that you can disable, you only get a list of <i>notifications you&#x27;ve already disabled</i>, so they don&#x27;t let you be proactive about disabling things.<p>I just tried clicking the &quot;unsubscribe&quot; link from one of Facebook&#x27;s &quot;So and so has updated their status.  Please, come back, our algorithm misses you!&quot; emails, and that added &quot;Recent friend activity on Facebook&quot; to my list of disabled notifications.  Let&#x27;s hope I still get emails for event invites and tagging notifications.  They change stuff all the time, and I remember the last time I looked into this I was afraid I was disabling more than I wanted to, so I went with email filters instead.
