Downloading Yahoo messages into Mail

I just got my new MacBook. When I configured Mail to use the POP function on Yahoo, it started downloading all 30,000 + messages that I have on my yahoo account. If i "cancel" it, it just starts again after 5 mins or something. I have had a related problem in the past where periodically Mail would RE-download Yahoo messages, so that in the end i would end up with 5 copies of the same message in my inbox on the hard-drive of my computer. Does anyone have thoughts on this?
