I have a cable modem to my ISP and then on my side I have a router connected to it. Now my router is running dhcp client to the cable modem and dhcp server to my network. It also is the DNS server for my network. I want an email server to periodically download my email from my ISP and be able to view my email from any computer in the house. I also want it to keep my wifes email and mine separate. Since we do have separate accounts. Please let me know. Thanks

You need to request a static IP from your ISP and then set up NAT (or PAT in Cisco World).
NAT (network address translation) will let you mask your internal network behind one address.
You will then need something to handle the incoming mail. An old PC running any Linux variant, Sendmail as your MTA (config as smarthost) and procmail as your LDA should do the trick.
