LinkedIn – too much mail

When I was looking for a job, about 10 years ago, I joined LinkedIn. Maybe once a year I would receive an email from them. I’d read it and delete it.

I never use LinkedIn and I don’t really like it. Lately, I have been getting what I consider spam from them. I get email every other day it seems. I’ve logged into LinkedIn several times and reset my email preferences and I still get email that I am not interested in and don’t want.

Today I set my gmail account so that all messages from LinkedIn go to the trash.

Is there a better way to set it so I get zero mail from them? I don’t want to cancel my account because some day in the future I might want to use the site, especially if I am out of work.
