I have contacts with whom I do not communicate by email - I have no interest in their email address
Yes I personally also have heaps of contacts I only chat with using What’s app and Messenger etc and don’t email, but I still put in their email address & contact name to avoid getting [email protected] .
However if you don’t want to put in an email address with the contact name, then if the [email protected] email “is in your Inbox” and shows in the header “then setup a header rule” to automatically move those emails to your Trash folder as per this example
After message has been received
from ‘invalid’, ‘invalid.invalid’, 'nobody’, ‘[email protected]’
move to Trash
if the [email protected] email “is in your Inbox” “and doesn’t show in the header” “then you carnt setup an automatic rule and you would need to manually delete it or move to trash.
If the [email protected] email is automatically “going straight in the Junkmail folder” if your server automatically moves it, then you also carnt setup a header rule “as rules only apply in your Inbox” as per this thread,
So if they are automatically going to your Junkmail folder you can set the Junkmail folder in Settings to automatically delete after Xdays as per @Gary post in that same thread.
Others on this forum might comment on this if there is any other way to avoid this problem.
