You can try compacting this pst prior: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289987

but after I create new pst and copy all mail to it what I need to do?
Make sure not to let the PST file grow over 2 GB, don;t add any new mails to it to prevent corruption. And normally, as said in my previous post, this would keep all pst files smaller altogether because the "empty" room within the pst file normally isn't freed up without compressing it. So even if all mails are moved from the PST file it will still have it's original size..
