The Junk Mail Filter is supposed to ignore your address as legitimate since
a lot of spam is seemingly sent from "yourself". Just for the heck of it try
the first rule and see if that helps. I have a rule that marks mail from me
with "my" category. When I scan my junk folder for good mail, I see several
junk messages from me. Try this rule and see:

>From is in category me
Set category me

Obviously, you need to set your contact as category 'me'.

I just checked my sent folder and found one message marked as junk. The
person I was sending a reply to wasn't in my Address Book and originally
came in as junk mail. I selected "this is not junk" and it removed the junk
status but didn't offer to add contact to my Address Book. This seems like a
bug or an unusual "feature".  :-)
