Post makes no sense. OE does not even use PST files, so how could a PST file
have been the problem?
Post more accurately please.
The method to create a new PST file in Outlook is:
File New Outlook Data File...

Outlook Express suddenly stopped downloading mail. All other functions
continued to work. It would appear to have related to my pst file being
too
large. I tried deleting lots of emails, but could still not fix the
problem.

So I decided to purchase and install Office 2003 including Outlook. It
managed to find the old pst file and the problem persisted. So I tried
moving
the pst file, but it won't create a new one. I tried renaming it .old, and
it
tries to open the file but gets stuck half ways through and not even
Outlook
will open.

I don't care about importing the old addresses and mails, I am happy to
start from scratch. But despite uninstalling and reinstalling, it just
keeps
wanting an existing pst file... how do I get a new, clean pst file?!?!
