How to Import All Emails from One Gmail Account to Another?

You may have multiple Gmail or Google Apps email accounts. Managing multiple such emails is difficult sometimes. You may want to consolidate them in a single Gmail account and still send and receive emails with each of the IDs from the same login.

If you own a domain, you can switch to Google Apps and have email at your own domain provided by Google for free. You can consolidate all your other email accounts into this email account and use Gmail effectively.

For example, I consolidated all my gmail accounts into my ananthapuri.com Google Apps domain. I have imported all my old emails from Gmail and other accounts into the new one.
