Create a new folder for those emails.
- Right click on mail account name in left Folder Pane.
- select 'New Folder'
- Give folder a suitable name eg: 'Facebook'
- create as subfolder of: mail account name
- click on 'Create Folder'
If this is an imap mail account then you may need to Subscribe to see the folder.
then create a filter to send emails automatically to that folder.

Apply filter when:

Make sure the new filter called 'Facebook' is enabled. click on 'Filter log' button select checkbox 'Enable the filter log' click on 'Close'
If you have emails in eg: Inbox from facebook people, you could manually run that filter on the Inbox.
