No offense to Gmail Loader (it's free and cool), but I didn't want to take the time to install extra Python widgets just to shuttle some old mail to Gmail for storage. So I used Mulberry. Mulberry is a lot like pine and presumably alpine in that they get no respect. Most of the time I want a pretty interface; sometimes I want to be able to use any possible IMAP feature (and don't get me started on why I like IMAP better than POP -- I'm mobile, OK?), and that's where Mulberry shines as does pine. You use the redirect feature in Mulberry (bounce in pine) to bounce your old mail to another address. The "Date" and "From" fields are not modified, so this is a reasonable way to transfer mail between accounts.
