Default How to send contacts subfolder to another computer

It seems that you cannot send it because it is a .pst file and security
rules deny that privilege, thus the reason to compress it (zip). You did not
mention having tried the second part of my instructions.(?)
1.- Open Windows Explorer (My Computer or My Documents icon on the Desktop)
2.- Find the .pst file that you just exported, right-click on it, click
"Send To..." and click on "Compressed (zipped) Folder"
3.- Find on that same folder, at the bottom of the list, the newly created
zip file.
4.- Right-click on that file, the .zip file, click "Send To", and click
"Mail Recipient"

If this still fails, rename your ".pst" file to ".txt" and try sending it...
you MUST warn the recipient that he/she has to rename back it to ".pst"
before being able to open/import it in Outlook.

This pst file cannot be opened from outside Outlook. To open the file you
would need to click, in Outlook, on
File Open Outlook Data File...
or
File Import and Export Import from another program Personal
Folder (pst) file...

thanks for the detailed description. everything is fine up to the point
where
i click Finish. then a window appears asking me to create a personal folder.
so i enter my password and click OK. but then whatever i saved, i can't open
nor send. A message keeps appearing saying that my company rejects this type
of attachment. Is there another way?

Export it as a PST file then email that file. Zip it up first to
overcome
possible security blocks.
