How to Disable Facebook Email

February 17, 2015

For some reason the feature never managed to take off as intended by its makers. Despite the fact, there may be times when you find yourself the recipient of spammy or malicious email. After all, it doesn’t take much to figure out your email, which is usually your profile name followed by @facebook.com.
