mail.app using 85% + processor

[David Herren]

For some reason, mail has started running wild on my my machine. Mark  
any message as spam, and the activity viewer shows "updating junk  
mail status of message 1 of 1" and top shows mail jumnping up to  
consuming nearly all the processor. The laptop starts to heat up and  
battery life drops. Mail becomes almost non-responsive at that point,  
and I have to force quit.

I've reset my junk mail settings to see if that will help--didn't  
seem to. Like everyone, I've started receiving floods of spam in all  
my accounts so ironically resetting the junk mail status didn't cause  
an increase in spam hitting my in box--stayed about the same.

Running 10.4.8 with all latest updates applied. Any ideas?
