My problem is that Outlook 2007 is attempting to download all 10,000
emails from the server again. It seems to have lost track of which
emails it has already downloaded despite having the old PST file
attached. If I let it download all 10,000 emails, I think it will work
and continue OK but it will take a while and I will have 10,000
duplicates to clean up.

The information about whaty has been downloaded is kept in the profile, not
the PST. Creating a new mail profile will reset the data and cause Outlook
to download it all again.

My approach would be to not leave the messages on the server. However, if I
wanted to leave them there, I'd use webmail and reorganize the server,
putting all the older messages in separate folders on the server so that
Outlook won't see them in the inbox and then won't download them.
