I'm pretty sure Mail downloads all the mail in your hotmail inbox to your hd. I'm sure you could change some settings are something..but I use Postbox Express.

I used to use Thunderbird, but I have been using google for a while and have gotten away from the desktop email client.

I use Mail, but Thunderbird is a good alternative.

It will download all of the messages in your INBOX folder, which is what you normally see when you log into a web interface. If you don't want messages downloaded into Apple Mail, move those messages from the INBOX folder to a different folder (most web clients allow you to have e-mail folders) or delete them.
