Help 'Mail' Icon

Right, so I've linked my Hotmail account to the phone, but I dont want it to constantly sync itself as I dont really use it too much.

So I've unticked Background Data box, and even removed Hotmail from the sync list. Yet it still syncs and pops up with mail icons when I dont want it to? I just want to be able to click the app and it will open and sync when I want it to.

What am I doing wrong?
