How can I stop getting email from a Facebook Group?I am a member of a bunch of groups on Facebook that I don't really care about any more, but I keep getting bulletins and updates in my inbox. What's the easiest way to unsubscribe from them? Facebook has a different model for groups that what I see on other sites and rather a ton of them seem to be more about joining than about participation. The "make your voice heard" groups that crop up around political and online events, that are to show your support or solidarity. As a result, there are lots of people who are members of hundreds, if not thousands of groups, and I can well imagine that one day the people who own those groups might want to start sending out messages, to your surprise! Fortunately it's not too hard to unsubscribe from a group when you get a message from its owner in your inbox on Facebook. Let me step you through the process... First off, here's what a group message looks like in my inbox:  Look just like regular email, actually, without any differentiation. Not a worry. Click on the message and you'll see its contents:  What we're interested in is at the very bottom right corner: Leave Group. I've highlighted it by boxing it in red in this screen capture. Click on it!  It's an oddly phrased prompt - I would have just said "Leave group?" - but that's what you want to do. Click on "Remove" and you've left the group. However, perhaps surprisingly, the message is still in your inbox, so you'll need to delete that one manually too, but at least you'll never see another from that group. Good luck. If you need it, there's plenty more Facebook Help here on Ask Dave Taylor.

Hmmm... but what if I still want to remain a member of the group? I just don't want my inbox to be cluttered by messages sent to *that* group. (But I do want messages sent from other groups or people...) I can't find a way to do this. It seems like turning off message emailing is an all or nothing affair, or is it possible? Posted by: jperez at February 2, 2009 10:16 AMThank for this tip. I was getting spammed by a group organizer and it was driving me crazy. The Facebook microfont for 'Leave Group' was virtually invisible to me.
I have left groups, ignored invite events as well as removed invites to events yet these people can still get to me...and when I go on the group/event page to remove myself I am not even part of it, wth! Posted by: Matty at August 14, 2009 4:19 AMI left a bunch of groups because I was cleaning up my facebook page. Within hours, I had invitations to join many of those groups again. How did they know I left??? I am a group owner as well, and it doesn't seem that easy to track membership, especially when the group has hundreds of people in it. Is there some automated script that will re-invite people who leave? Posted by: Mel at January 15, 2010 1:24 PMExcellent Answer regarding unsubscribe from a Facebook group. Thanks Posted by: Bala at May 28, 2010 7:29 PMHello to answer the actual question that was asked. "How to stop emails from groups?" It is quite simple. At the bottom of your email from the group there is an unsubscribe link. Just click on it and unsubscribe. This does not delete you from the group. It just stops them from sending emails to you.
