Читать книгу Facebook For Dummies - Carolyn Abram - Страница 45

After you’ve confirmed your email address Facebook considers you a full-fledged member of the site. However, it doesn’t want you to show up once and leave, so it may email you to remind you that you're now a Facebook user. These outreach emails have various subject lines, ranging from a notice that one of your new Facebook friends has updated his or her status, to a general notice that “You have more friends on Facebook than you think.” Clicking the links in these emails will open Facebook in your browser.

If you don’t like receiving these emails, you can unsubscribe by clicking the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of any individual email. Facebook opens in your browser and asks if you're sure you want to unsubscribe from this type of email, as shown in Figure 2-2. Click Confirm to make it official.

FIGURE 2-2: Keep your inbox free of clutter.

When Facebook asks whether you want to unsubscribe from “this type” of email, it is being specific. Email updates about your friends (such as, Amy added new photos on Facebook) are a different type than general prompts to find more friends. You may have to click Unsubscribe from more than one email before you stop receiving emails altogether.
