If you don’t want to go through all this trouble, you can leave the Facebook notification settings unchanged and turn on SaneBox’s SaneNews feature folder instead.

That enables you to still allow extra notifications to be sent to you, while enjoying the power of having SaneBox instruct your email server to move them to your SaneNews folder where they won’t interrupt your day (and where you can read them at your convenience and not have them pollute your Inbox or focus-time.)
