From there you can copy the folder from one account to the other. Make sure you COPY and not MOVE because if anything messes up you don't want to lose the messages permanently. You can do this by right-click-dragging the folder from the one account to the other.
You can also use Outlook but I find it's pretty flaky especially with big folders, it tends to just fail midway through.
