I actually used Google's POP3 polling to transfer about 364,000 messages from one Gmail account to another recently. It didn't only move the inbox. The only downsides were, it is very slow -- this took more than a week. I didn't care, I had time. And also, some messages that have suspicious content or attachments, they do not get transferred over. Instead, Gmail replaces the body of that message, in the new account, with a warning. Since I work in email abuse / anti-spam, I was potentially more affected by that versus your average Joe. Still, it wasn't too many messages, and I decided to just let them go.
