Problems with emailing video from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro

Hi all you helpful people,
I have taken some short videos on my iPhone, and have tried to email to my Macbook Pro. The email is received but there is not attached video.
I then downloaded the videos to iPhoto. The option to email the video does not come up at the bottom of the iPhoto screen. On File / Export it only brings up the options for exporting still photo files, eg jpeg.
I then dragged the video file to my desktop and opened a new mail message, and attached the video.
However, it wont send, the server times out. These are only short videos - some 5 sec long. I also cant now remove them from the quere to be sent on mail so everything is backed up behind them. Is there a way to clear them from the queue?
Surely it cant be this difficult? Am I missing something simple?
All help gratefully received!
Thanks.
