hello,
i was thinking of using postfix for a mail server, the question is can i use this just for in bound email
Yes, use your isp's mail server for outbound mail.
only and have my clients access this server locally. the clients would be outlook. I want this to check certain email accounts i have and download them to the postfix mail server. The reason i would think about doing this is my wife and i need to access both of these accounts and i do not want to keep them on the email account. is this feasable and secure?
I do not understand what you are really trying to accomplish but one thing to keep in mind is that you will need a pop3/imap server inorder to have outlook retreive tha mail. AFAIK outlook cannot reveive mail directly.
