Organizing and accessing contact information in Outlook.com
Doesn't this mean "Delete all messages except for those with blank sender address" ? [Dangerous]
Wrong. The rule Deletes ALL messages EXCEPT the ones with @ sign in the address. All email address that has @ sign will be untouched.
Tell us, when was the last time you found a legitimate email address that does not contain @ sign?
Now I understand why my many ignore the suggestion. They don't understand email technology.
