Gmail to MacBook email app

Good morning everyone! Haven't posted in a while, but I still check iMore several times a week. This question is about the stock Mail app on my MacBook Pro. I want to set up my gmail account to use with this app but when I do that the app begins to download 8,000+ email from my gmail account. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? I want to use the app from this point going forward and don't need any archived email.
