Gmail rolls out mail and contact import for all users
For a while now, new Gmail users have been able to import messages and contacts from email accounts on other services like Yahoo or Hotmail. If you had an older Gmail account, though, you were left out in the cold with no import tool. Now the Gmail team is solving that problem by making importing available to everyone. You can find the option to import in your Gmail settings, under "Accounts and Import." One caveat: Google says it can take up to a week to import all the mail from your old account. If you're worried about people still using your old address, you can have it forward to Gmail for 30 days. After that, you should be fully ready to ditch your old account and enjoy your shiny new gmail.

Dang, you're just playing with my emotions. I thought "All People" would mean Google Apps users, but no such luck.

This is great, but I wish they'd make Gmail-to-Google Apps migration available to everyone, rather than just the premium users. I understand that they want to provide differentiated features for premium users, but it's their freaking email system... surely it can't be THAT hard to swing mail over from one account to another... especially since they can do it for other providers to their system?

It's nice to be able to import, but be warned if you feel overwhelmed and want to STOP THE IMPORT or UNDO - THERE IS NO CAPABILITY.
Gmail made the import a one way street - once you say yes, there is no going back.
Pretty crappy that there is not a way to stop the import
