You need to specify what kind of email account you're talking about. Is it your ISP POP account or a gmail/hotmail/similar type of account.
In any case you set the rules for how the mail is handled.
In Mail, open Mail Preferences. Select Accounts. Select Advanced. Pick the Account in question and configure as you desire.
In the gmail/hotmail type accounts, you usually leave them on the server. To get them on your Mac, either print to PDF and then file by sender or subject or whatever you choose.
You can actually use Mail in Leopard to retrieve your gmail and store it locally. Mail Preferences will do this for you. Try reading up in Mail Help.
Mail typically stores all email in Home/Library/Mail/POP accounts. It will be in file format, not something you can click on and read. It will have a format type and number. Try guessing which one you are interested in.
