Yep,
Create a new profile unfortunately and then import the "old" PST file using the native Outlook2003 format (assuming here that's what you are using) and ensure that you do NOT import it as a "Outlook2002 or older" format which has a 2GB limit and as mentioned by someone else before, will start mucking you around from 1.5GB upwards! Since Outlook2003 onwards MS is using the unicode format for the PST file and it normally is good up to around max of 12GB IMHO. The Enterprise version of Outlook however has no limit so to speak (read into it whatever you want but methinks that crippleware by MS for the other versions to get more money is disgraceful!)
If using versions older than Outlook2003 then forget about using your Outlook as a storage system, if it's important enough best print it out! - Ouch for the trees though!
Even after deleting mails/attachments from Outlook (any version) you must run the "compact" process otherwise the file size will remain the same bloated size that it originally was
Cheers
