<div>
Yes.<br />
<br />
You'll setup to access your new account to use IMAP.<br />
<br />
Then use one of these methods. #1 syncs mail, so mail will still exist both places. #2 destroys email in old location.<br />
<br />
1) Then use a tool like <a href="https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync" rel="ugc"><u>https://github.com/imapsyn<wbr />c/imapsync<wbr /></u></a> to populate the account.<br />
<br />
2) You can also just setup 2x IMAP accounts in one client, like Thunderbird, then slowly drag &amp;&nbsp;drop mail from your old account to the new account.<br />
<br />
Tip: Try doing this via a few 100s-1000s at a time. If either IMAP account connection drops during this process, you can have a mess on your hands.<br />
<br />
If you have many email (like you mentioned of 10 years worth of mail), using imapsync will ensure the sync goes well.

Backloading emails into gmail

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.

Email Clients

Google’s Gmail is a free email service that allows users to access their email on the web or by using third-party programs that synchronize email content through POP or IMAP protocols.
