Import emails to new computer

[darcie]

I used to work off a Compaq laptop that has no burner or
floppy drive (no way to get info off computer other than
email). I just got a desktop computer.

Is there any way to export my archived emails and attach
them in an email so that I can download them onto the
desktop? I've exported them to a .pst file, but Outlook
won't let me attach it to an email. Same thing with my
contacts export - won't let me attach. I get the
message "operation failed".

I'm using Outlook Office XP; windows me on the desktop,
and 98 on the laptop.

Any ideas? Thanks much!

You really need either a Networked connection or some media to transfer via.
Attach via email would be way too big.
