Yes, use some sort of removable media like a USB device to copy the mail between the systems.
Here is a method of archiving files to the directory "Archive" on the local
hard drive. This same procedure will work for any read/write drive.
1. Open the folder listing. Go to the menu "Folders" next to "Tools".
2. Use "Add mailbox to list", enter C:\Archive as the path, Archive as
the name.
3. Add a folder to the mailbox called "Archive", the name is not
important. You can also just use the New mail folder on the disk but
this storage is not as efficient since each message is stored
separately.
4. Move the messages to this folder on the disk drive.
There are some operational limitations here:
A. Of course the size of this mailbox is limited by the size of
the disk.
B. Don't just drag an existing folder (or tray) from "My Mailbox"
to the floppy drive mailbox or from the floppy to the "My
Mailbox". It *appears* to work, but actually doesn't. The
folder won't be moved to the floppy. This limitation is being
worked.
You can then do the same thing on the receiving system to restore the data to the desktop system.
