Why does Mail mark all my outgoing messages as "junk?"

I recently upgraded from OS 10.4.4 to 10.5.5 on both my iMac and PowerBook & now Mail marks all my outgoing messages as "Junk."
I reset my junk mail preferences--and manually marked all my outgoing messages as "Not Junk Mail"--but nothing changed.
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Can anyone offer a solution?
Does anyone else think it's strange that this is even possible? Shouldn't administrators' messages always be marked "Not Junk Mail" by default?
Help!!!
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I recently upgraded from OS 10.4.4 to 10.5.5
Mac OS X 10.5.5? Wow! I thought it would be 1 year or so until Mac OS X 10.5 ships and you've already installed its .5 revision! What kind of Developer Program are you a member of?
Sorry, couldn't resist!
Now, seriously, you're certainly not alone. I've seen quite a few threads about this very same issue here. Just search for "junk" and "sent" in this forum:

Why does Mail mark all emails as read when I close it with an email open?

If I use Mail with say, Gmail, and I open an email in Mail and then later archive all email in Gmail, then any future email that I receive are marked as "Read" in the Mail app. This appears to be because when you open an email in Mail and then it no longer exists (because it's archived) then Mail moves on to the next email, therefore marking it as read because it's opening it.
Is this really to be expected? Is there a way for the Mail app to "reset" itself like some other apps do, once they close, rather than save the last state that the app was in?

Does the iPhone still do this, or no longer?

Why does mail suddenly import thousands of messages again?

Once every few months Mail under 10.6.8 re-imports 2700 or so emails and takes half an hour, but when finished it has not added anything I see in the mail list.
Specifically there are no "new" email messages. This has been going on for years.

Why is it doing this and is anything wrong somewhere?
TIA

This is my web setting for gmail
Notice what is checked. Now my corresponding Mac Mail sidebar
All mail is a hodpodge. I would not turn that on or (as you can see) even let it be shown.

Why does Mail save all these drafts?

Using Mac OS 10.6.7 and Mail 4.5 (1084) -- both are the latest versions.
While composing emails, Mail automatically saves multiple drafts. Yesterday, while writing a long-ish email, Mail saved 14 drafts over a 7 minute period. That's one every 30 seconds. This behavior seems to have started after I updated from 10.6.5 a couple of months ago -- at least I can't remember it being a problem before recently. The drafts do not clean themselves up (disappear) after quitting and re-starting the program. It happens on both my work computer and my home one, so it's not limited to a specific installation or user account.

Another thread suggested that you look at the mail preferences for your IMAP account and be sure that "save drafts on the server" is not checked. This solved my problem. Give it a try.

I just recently upgraded to Mavericks. Why does it take awhile to load messages in mail after I click to open them?

I just recently upgraded to Mavericks. Why does it take awhile to load messages after I click to open them?

I should have put more info with my question. Anyway, I regularly use Seamonkey with its built-in mail client because it works so well. I also can use the Yahoo site's mail feature and the mail also goes out instantly once I click on the send button. Only Mail takes up to 32 seconds to send out a mail. I watch the spinning wheel churn until the whoosh sound comes. Not acceptable, that is why I use Seamonkey. Another iMac in the house shows the same low level of performance sending out the mail from that computer, and that computer uses the ultra-fast Comcast internet while my computer uses the AT&T land line. I tried changing some of the settings, like changing the port numbers to no avail. I returned to the recommended AT&T port setting. Since I have never been able to get Mail to work the way I want it, I switched to Seamonkey, but have always been curious as to why it wants to take so long. I like Safari as the browser a little better, but will use Seamonkey because it has it all and works the way it should. Unless a cure for that elongated wait with the outgoing mail is found, I will have to stay with Seamonkey.

N Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending. Anybody have any idea how to stop this?

In Mail, when using "reply all" why does Mail automatically include my email address in the cc line? Whey would I want to include my email address in an email I am sending.? Anybody have any idea how to stop Mail from including my email address in the cc line when using "reply all"?

Automatically cc myself is not checked. I did find out that if you have multiple email address that all of them need to be associated with "My Contact" tab. Thanks

Why does Mail (OSX10.8) show my Yahoo account as "offline"

Why does Mail show my Yahoo account as offline? I have to use a different outgoing mail server as a result.

Hey there Mike,
It sounds like you are seeing in the Mail app that your Yahoo account is offline. Take a look at the following article to help you troubleshoot the issue:

Is it an ordinary mail without attachments and links in the body of the email? If so, try deleting the email accountb and setting it up again.

Why does Mail not support read receipts?

I find it hard to believe that there is a single email application that doesn't support read receipts. For me it is a fairly basic feature I would expect any decent Mail application to have.
I am currently in the process of writing an email to a company and I want to make sure they get it - a read receipt is how I want to verify that they've had it. Why does Mail not support this?
If I am going to have to accept that Mail is not the first class application Apple keeps parading around - is there an alternative that offers this and other features I would expect to find in Microsoft Outlook (minus the calendar etc...)?

Outlook uses a Microsoft-proprietary system for "read receipts", so there may be no way Apple could implement it, or there may be licensing fees involved, or Apple may just not feel that it's worth spending the money to implement. Outlook which is designed to work primarily with an Exchange server, so it's in Microsoft's interest to support Exchange features (note that even Microsoft in their own Mac app do not support all the features theydo on Windows).
You can express your interest in this feature to Apple via their feedback pages, if you wish:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
but support for return receipts in any system other than Exchange is very unlikely, since as Matt said it is not part of the Internet email specification and hence not widely supported at all.
Regards.

Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name. Make sure the settings there are correct.

Why does mail stop working?

Why does mail stop working when it has worked fine for years?

OK, thank you. I use apple for e-mail. I have an @me address and I have long subscribed to mobile me, which has recently become icloud. Yesterday the @me mail account appeared to stop recognizing my e-mail password for my primary mail account on my two imacs but not on my ipad. The most recent e-mail I have received on my imacs is 7:16am yesterday, but I know from my ipad that I have received numerous e-mails since then. I have other mail accounts, including one for the school where I teach. I am receiving e-mail on the school account ok.
I made no changes to my password or otherwise for my primary mail account any time recently. I also still have my @mac address.
Generally, I do not understand icloud. I do not understand how to sync information across computers.
When I go to preferences in mail and I click and accounts and account information, I do not understand anything that I see there. When I try to re-type my password, there seems to be no way to save it except to switch to another mail account. I know from past experience that if I attempt to fix whatever might be wrong with mail I do not know what I am doing.
Any information would be helpful. Thank you.
