Instead of getting an e-mail for every new notification you receive on Facebook, you’ll just get a summary e-mail every so often. Here is how the company describes the new Email Frequency feature on an email sending to users:
Hi,
We’re trying out a new feature to reduce the amount of email you receive from Facebook. Starting today, we are turning off most individual email notifications and instead, we’ll send you a summary only if there are popular stories you may have missed.
You can turn individual emails back on and restore all your original settings at any time.
Thanks,
The Facebook Team
