Q: Microsoft User Data now too large for a Zip disk on 3400
My sister is changing over from her trusty old PB 3400 to a "newer" G3 iceberg iBook running OS X. We have arranged to migrate most of her data across using 100 MB Zip disks, but unfortunately the main Identity for her emails (in Microsoft User Data) is now too large - 1.9 MB infuriatingly - to fit onto a blank Zip.
She has tried removing picture attachments to the desktop and then deleting the original message, and then emptying Outlook Express trash, but to no avail. Can anyone suggest a way she can get her emails copied over? (She cannot use USB on the 3400 and setting up a network between the two machines using Ethernet is way beyond her technical capabilities).
Any ingenious solutions would be welcomed.
