The groups G of the title are those in which EG(x) = {y | yG, [y, nx] = 1 for some n} is a subgroup for every x in G. We show that the quotient group G/F(G) is rather restricted for finite E-groups; in particular, soluble finite E-groups are of Fitting length 4 at most. Some criteria for infinite groups are given.
