In Mail Prefs, got to Accounts and select your .Mac account. Then  
click the Advanced tab. Check Enable this account and Include when  
automatically checking for new mail.
There is a pulldown menu for "Keep copies of messages for offline  
viewing" Change this to Don't keep copies of any messages.

Under the Mailbox Behaviors tab, uncheck all of the checkboxes except  
Trash/Move deleted messages to the Trash Mailbox.

Try this.

Also, if you want to delete any messages on the Server, you can click  
on the little icon that looks like a star/flower at the bottom of the  
Mailbox window, next to the + sign. At the bottom of that menu is Get  
Info. Click on that and select your .mac account. You can delete  
messages on the server, there.
