I've offered to help an SCA friend who has a Gmail account. She's
moving a

*volunteer* job will have access to the 3000+ emails that have come in
during my friend's tenure.
I don't know if this will be of *any* help to you, but here's one
discussion that came up when I searched gmail help for "importing mail
from one gmail account to another":

It looks a bit involved because you seem to need to have IMAP access
with a third-party mail program. IMAP is a kind of mail-communication
method; a third-party mail app would be something like Thunderbird from
mozilla.org.
Yep, AFAIK, right now the only way to easily move/copy emails between
Gmail accounts is to use their IMAP interface.
Don't let the four letter acronym scare you, the process of setting up
IMAP is rather simple and Google has plenty of screenshots in their Help
pages to show you how to set it up. You might start here:

Thunderbird is a good choice as it is free, and actually really nice to
work with when it comes to IMAP support. It's what I'm using right now,
in fact.
The configuration process may take a bit of work, but once you get both
accounts set up in one Thunderbird you can just Ctrl+A to select every
item in a label and then drag and drop to the other label; just like
moving files between folders.
Just keep in mind it may take a while, particularly for a large amount
of emails, but Thunderbird should give you a good idea of its progress
and at least you will be able to do other things as it works.
