Is there a way so that when i have my Gmail via IMAP so that when i click all mail, it will not download all the mail i have? Also, is there a way to remove the downloaded mail from my mac?
 
Mine does this too - I believe it's a limitation of GMail's IMAP implementation. I haven't found any setting, either on GMail or Mail.app, to change this behavior.
 
You can turn that option off in the accounts>>advanced tab

If you turn saving off, mail.app will only download the headers
 
I guess what i'm asking is if you can have it download the first 25 messages like the iPhone does, then more if you have to.
