facebook emailing help!?!?

[Nick]

i just want facebook to stop emailing me everytime i get a notification. if i go to account settings ---> notifications ----> and then uncheck every single box does that stop the emails or does that stop facebook actually showing me i have a notification?? (like in the top left corner will those still show up?)

so what im saying is......how do i keep it so the notifications DO pop up on the facebook page in the top left corner but stop the emails coming?
