Heres hoping that you havent spent several hours of your life forwarding emails from an old Hotmail or Yahoo account to one under Gmails umbrella.

Although it was a long time in coming, Gmails now made the option to import old messages and contacts available to everyone.Back in midMay, Gmail began to let new users import their old email and contacts. This was a moderately clever move that made the process of transitioning from one account to another much simpler.Longtime users probably wont find the option as useful most of them will have already copied over their contacts and any critical emails.
