With the new profile comes a new .pst, which has none of your old emails in
it. However, the old .pst file is still there. Just go looking through the
old profile in the Documents and Settings subtree. It is in the second
level application data folder, as I recall, in an Outlook folder. You can
open it in your new profile, and just use it that way, or drag the emails
you want over. It really is a good opportunity to jettison a lot of old
stuff you will never use again.
