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.
