If you insist on .pst, Nikita suggestion is good. run outlook on a machine to download mail periodically. then whenever you want, stop outlook and copy the pst file, then restart outlook. Of course, you'd better have the same version of outlook as the client, otherwise any format change will make things too complex. otherwise, imap is the way to go. you can also gereate mbox files or web pages or anything in a open format (pst format is proprietary). Anyway, this is not really postfix related.
