Do you want to switch to Gmail and retain your emails from your current email account? There are a couple ways to do this. If your emails are on another web based email service, you may be able to retrieve them into Gmail using the external POP access. You may also use Gmail’s IMAP feature to move messages from Outlook to Gmail. If you use Google Apps, you can also use the Google Email Uploader. If you wish to migrate from one Gmail account to another, you can use your new Gmail account to POP your old Gmail account.
