Acrobat can subdivide documents (Document > Extract pages). But to
e-mail you would have to subdivide into documents of one page - 55
documents. Even so, on a regular modem it could take about 12 hours
connect time to send or receive these messages - if not more.

So, I will return to my question. Knowing the scans were greyscale, if
we assume they are 8.5 x 11 inches, a size of 2.2 mb per page is
around 150 dpi if uncompressed.

You need to do one of the following

- scan at a lower resolution (e.g. 72 dpi is about a quarter of the
size)
- scan in black and white (an eighth of the size; you can do both)
- use a method that compresses scans (scanning to Acrobat doesn't,
because it doesn't expect you to save the scans, only run Paper
Capture)
- run Paper Capture
- or, run a tool or method to recompress the files.
