Also using imapsync allows you to transform the headers so messages sent to your GMail account will still say "To: me" rather than showing your old GMail address.

In your Gmail account (From where you want to import all your emails to your Google Apps statndard account) go to 'Settings' 2. Then click on 'Forwarding POP/IMAP' tab. 3. Then select 'Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)select allow POP for all' 4. Now go to your Google Apps account. 5. Go to 'Settings' 6. The click on 'Accounts' tab 7. In the section 'Get mail from other accounts:' Click on the link 'Add a mail account you own' 8. A new window pops up, just follow the process of providing your Gmail Account information 9. Probably 2nd page into it, it will ask for username, password, etc. and it will have a drop down menu next to Pop server: select the 1st 'pop.gmail.com' in the list 10. do not check mark leave messages as gmail does not support it 11. Check mark label and give it a good label like: 'My Gmail' or something. 12. Then click Add Account and it will go through the verification. Once you verify the account. You are done. 13. Now you can go back to the inbox and you should see your 'My Gmail' label. Click on it and it should download all your emails from your Gmail account. Please note that you will loose all the emails in your Gmail Account. 14. Final step is to then go back to the Gmail Account and disable POP download and enable forwarding to your google apps email account. Hope this helps all the google apps users out there.
