Email notifications sent to myself on every comment
Can you ensure that you have unchecked 'Send all group conversations and events to members inboxes'. You can find this option from Groups > Group settings > Edit Group.
5 Years later, and the issue still exist ! No chance to turn off notifications on comments. Microsoft is ridiculous at this point, you can see from the comment that they promised to fix this on 2017. This company is a joke !

Yes, it's unchecked (by default).
I'm not sure the Group is involved at all in this mess, the email always comes from myself and is sent to myself and/or to the group email.
Furthermore, if I check this setting, subscribe to the group, and email it - I now realise I don't get an email...
Nothing really appears to work as it should with the email notifications in Office 365 Group/Planner services.
I have exactly the same issue. Every member of the MS Team is automatically subscribed to "follow the plan in inbox" and they have received every comment posted on tasks that are not assigned to them as an email. If you stop following, the emails stop. No one receives emails when they are assigned to a task or when a task is completed.
I'd like for it to behave as this article describes

"...you'll receive email notifications (in Conversations) when:
You create a plan.
You are added as a plan member.
Any plan member adds a comment to a task that you've commented on."
"Subscribe to the plan
If you want to receive all plan communication in email, you can subscribe to the plan.
When subscribed, you will receive an email message when:
A task is assigned (or reassigned) to any plan member.
A task is completed."
